Abstract

Flora of the city-type settlements as a special group of urban floras (using the example of the Khabarovsk Krai). S.V. BABKINA, E.V. SAFONOVA, P.S. SHEHENKO (Amur State University of Humanities and Pedagogy, Komsomolsk-on-Amur).

The flora of 26 stations of the Lower Amur Region and Sakhalin (5 cities, 13 towns and 8 low-disturbed or intact natural territories) is considered. Evaluation according to three independent criteria: the spectrum of families, the spectrum of ecological-cenotic groups and species composition, showed that the flora of settlements is not identical with the urban flora of large cities, but is located approximately that far as from it as from the flora of natural habitats.
