Plants from the vegetation relevés of the projected Desniansko-Starohutskyi National Nature Park

Study Extent

The dataset consists of records of plants according to geobotanical descriptions that were made prior to the creation of Desniansko-Starohutskyi National Nature Park in 1997-1999. The studied territory includes the forest massif on the right bank of the Ulytsia River to the bed of the Chern' River within the borders of Ukraine and the floodplains of these rivers between the villages of Ulytsia and Stara Huta (Shostkinsky District, Sums'ka Oblast', Ukraine). The research was carried out under the scientific supervision of Doctor of Science, Prof. T.L. Andrienko (M.H. Kholodny Institute of Botany, NASU). The author expresses his sincere gratitude to the co-authors of the laboratory headed by her: V.A. Onishchenko, O.I. Pryadko, R.I. Arap for comprehensive help and advice and to the NGO "Ukrainian Nature Conservation Group" for financial support.

Sampling

The research was carried out by route methods using the traditional method of performing full geobotanical descriptions. In some areas of broad-leaved forests, geobotanical descriptions were carried out in the spring during the flowering of spring ephemeroids and during the main vegetation period. The set of geobotanical descriptions generally covers the main types of natural vegetation little changed by human activity, with the exception of aquatic vegetation.
