BIORESOURCE POTENTIAL OF VARIOUS <i>ANTHERICUM RAMOSUM</i> L. POPULATIONS IN THE BELGOROD REGION
The bioresource potential of Anthericum ramosum L., which is a rare species for close regions and is of decorative value, has been studied. The uniform distribution of the species in the Belgorod region and different population numbers were determined. The floristic species environment, which is very close in steppe and tree populations, has been revealed. A number of morphological features were compared. In all populations, the order of inflorescence branching is from one to three, the flower diameter in the populations averaged 2.3 cm. The differences were in the plants height, the number of leaves, flowers and fruits per plant. Plants from steppe populations better realize the generative potential, bloom more beautifully. The revealed spectra of age-dependent states of all four populations are centered with a small number of seed plants and the presence of dormant generative individuals. Steppe populations are more complete with the predominance of pregenerative states.
