The vegetation large-scale mapping of hydromorphic ecosystems

Abstract

In order to study processes taking place in secondary overmoisturised ecosystems large-scale mapping of vegetation of the ecosystems was realized. The research was taken in the steppe zone in the Rostov region. 6 yearly maps (1997–2003) of plant communities were completed at the key plot. Plant communities distribution and dynamics mostly depend on soil moisturizing and salinization. Three main types of plant successions were distinguished: 1 – fluctuation changes of plant communities effected by soil moisture degree; 2 – plant successions influenced by intermittent overmoisturization; 3 – plant successions under antropogenic influence.

Development of university students ethical and sustainable thinking for the implementation of sustainable development goals

“…For example, O. N. Volkova describes eight types of popular eco-professions in the nearest future. In this research, the author emphasizes that the ecological thinking of mankind should be understood as a factor determining its further economic and social development [10]. R S.-E. Yushaeva describes issues related to the education of students ' ecological thinking through the implementation of environmental initiatives, for example, conducting eco-practices or the work of an eco-club [11].…”
