Abstract

On the base of 8382 phytosociological relevés and with the use of modern methods of statistical data processing the syntaxonomical diversity of ruderal vegetation of Ukraine has been determined. This type of plant communities is represented by 8 classes, 16 orders, 36 alliances and 205 associations, 29 of them are mentioned for the first time for Ukraine. The classes Stellarietea mediae, Artemisietea vulgaris and Galio-Urticetea have the biggest syntaxonomical richness. The leading factors of territorial differentiation of ruderal plant communities are revealed and peculiarities of their biogeographical distribution are analysed. The synchrological specificity of the classes Stellarietea mediae and Artemisietea vulgaris is manifested at the level of alliances. Coenoses of Scleranthion annui, Salsolion ruthenicae, Malvion neglectae, Arction lappae are more common in the Forest and Forest-Steppe zones; thermophylic and xerophytic phytocoenoses of Hordeion murini, Lactucion tataricae, Dauco-Melilotion and Onopordion acanthii are widespread in the Steppe zone. The regional specificity of the classes Robinietea, Polygono-Poetea annuae and Plantaginetea majoris, which are found in all botanical and geographical zones of Ukraine, is reflected at the level of associations. Nitrophilic mesic and wet plant communities of Galio-Urticetea and Bidentetea classes have been recorded mainly in anthropogenic habitats of the Forest and Forest-Steppe zones. The coenoses of Epilobietea angustifolii are characterized by geographical connection only with the Carpathian region, Ukrainian Polissia and the northern Forest-Steppe. Based on the analysis of changes in the syntaxonomic structure of ruderal vegetation of Ukraine over the past 30 years, it was found that the level of its coenotic diversity has increased significantly, primarily due to intensification and differentiation of anthropogenic pressures' types on natural ecosystems.
