MAINTAINING THE VIABILITY ANIMALS AND PLANT ORGANISMS IN URBAN ECOSISTEMS (ECOLOGO-GENETIC APPROUCH)

Abstract

Ecologo- genetic approach is the basis genourbanology - independent scientific perspective and practical direction of the selected authors (the synthesis of population genetics and ecology of the system), which is committed to the knowledge of the genetic parameters and laws of conservation of human and ecosystem stability especially in urban landscapes. This approach (that is methodology, the concept, strategy, technologies) has been tested in the ecosystems of the urban specially protected territories of Moscow and Moscow region. The state of the genofond of the organisms (model species) populations whose natural habitat is the fragmented landscape of Moscow and the Moscow Region (36 animals populations and 4 plants populations) was assessed. Our experience confirms efficiency of this approach in maintaining the viability animals and plant organisms in urban ecosystems.
