ECOLOGY OF NATURE MANAGEMENT OF THE ALEKHINE CENTRAL RESEARCH CENTER
Central Chernozem State Natural Biosphere Reserve named after Professor V.V. Alekhina (TsChGPBZ) is unique in the system of reserves in Russia, since meadow steppes are most fully represented in it. Since the beginning of the last century, they have been open to science as classical northern, herbaceous and unsurpassed in their phytocoenological parameters. The present study is devoted to the effectiveness of their reproduction with simultaneous forced use. Global transformations in Russia negatively influenced the quantitative and qualitative composition of the material and technical resources of the reserve, which directly and indirectly affected its natural complex, in which the steppe type of vegetation is currently, as originally, the main object of protection. It is known that the indicators of resource availability and efficiency have decreased in many industries, not only in nature reserves. Their financial condition has worsened, and, consequently, the reproductive opportunities associated with it have decreased. The central aspect of the organization of highly effective reserve protection is the scientific substantiation of the optimal reserve regimes that prioritize the reproduction of meadow steppes, which were originally submitted for protection in 1935. An attempt is made in the article to substantiate the modes of reproduction of meadow-steppe herbage.
