Translocation Of Rare Plant Species As A Method Of Biodiversity Preservation In Specially Protected Natural Areas

The article reflects the inventory checking results of the territory of the regional ranked "Uporovsky" nature reserve (Uporovsky district, Tyumen region). The growth of protected species of vascular plants, including Calluna vulgaris (L.) Hull, Neottianthe cucullata L. Schlechter, Digitalis grandiflora Mill. was revealed on the area allocated for extension of the right-of-way for 110 kV power transmission lines. A scientifically grounded transfer of individuals of protected plant species was carried out from the sites, allocated for clearing right-of-way of power transmission line, to new habitats similar in ecological conditions located within the nature reserve. The study was carried out at the time of year favorable for transfer, taking into account the ontogeny stage of the transferred plants. Methods and approaches of translocation of vascular plant species have been developed. The preparation of plants transferring (coordinate binding, labeling, etc.), removal of the translocated individuals from the original habitat and their transportation to new safe areas was performed. A system for monitoring the state of translocated plants was developed, and a high level of survival of plants after translocation to new habitats was noted.
