Vegetation of the littoral and estuary territories in the license area of the Kuban river delta of Llc "NK "Priazovneft"
In 2014-2016 the study of estuary-wetland and littoral systems was carried out by LLC «NK «Priazovneft» in the license area. The map of the license area vegetation was created for the first time. The complex structure of the license area vegetation, positive dynamics in the structure of psammophilous steppe communities, littoral communities to the right of Kulikovsky girl is fixed. Coastal communities of <i>Phragmites australis</i> and <i>Typha laxmannii</i> Lepechin, communities of <i>Phragmites australis</i> with sparse submerged vegetation of pondweed (<i>Potamogeton natans</i> L., <i>P. perfoliatus</i> L.), permanently flooded between-estuaries monodominant communities of Phragmites australis on peaty soil in the dried sections of reed beds, etc. are identified and described in the flooded-estuary area. A significant variety is characteristic of artificial oleaster families where rare species find new habitats. The changes in the littoral vegetation structure which happened during the last 10 years of observations are registered. In the coastal zone of sand and shell ecotope there described a typical littoral community with <i>Phragmites stenophyllus</i> (Boiss.) Rouy. There identified Communities of artificial forest plantations of <i>Elaeagnus angustifolia</i>, <i>Hippophae rhamnoides</i> and <i>Amorpha fruricosa</i> are identified. Strengthening of phytocenotic positions of invasive species is revealed. These ecosystems respond quickly to the global climate changes, significant threat to the coastal environment is physical destruction of habitats due to badly-planned social, economic and environmental development of coastal zones, environmental catastrophes.
