Chorological, ecological and coenotic characteristics of symphyotrichum Ciliatum (Lindl.) Nesom (Asteraceae) in the Bukovinian Cis-Carpatian

Abstract

The results of study on distribution, ecological and coenotic characteristics of alien species Symphyotrichum ciliatum (Lindl.) Nesom (Asteraceae) in the Bukovinian Cis-Carpathian (Chernivtsi Region, Ukraine) are presented. Five associations of synanthropic vegetation species were found in the region namely: Eragrostio-Amaranthetum albi Morariu 1943, class Digitario sanguinalis-Eragrostietea minoris Mucina, Lososová et Šilc in Mucina et al. 2016, Lolio-Plantaginetum majoris (Linkola 1921) Beger and Polygonetum arenastri Gams 1927, class Polygono-Poеtea annuae Rivas-Mart. 1975, Odontito-Ambrosietum artemisiifoliae Mucina 1993 and Convolvulo-Agropyretum repentis Felföldy 1943, class Artemisietea vulgaris Lohmeyer et al. in Tx. ex von Rochow 1951. These species are noted in the anthropogenic ecotopes and in habitat of Nature 2000. The indices of main edaphic and climatic factors for the species were determined for the first time. According to the main climatic indices, such as thermoregulation, ombrorezhime and criorezhime, S. ciliatum is characterized by stenotopic amplitude and belongs to submezoterms, subaridophytes and hemicriophytes, etc. S. ciliatum in the region is characterized as potential invasive species.
