Establishing, scientific and practical bases of functioning TBR “West Polesie” and it’s significance for development methods of sustainable use and preservation of biological and landscape diversity

On the basis of floristic classification of vegetation the phytocoenotic diversity has been determined for Ukrainian part of TBR Western Polissya: 135 associations, 53 alliances, 38 ordos, 25 classes

1 – inland water communities
2 – wetlands
3 – bogs
4 – grassland
5 – sands and wood borders
6 – forest, wood and shrubs
7 – synantropic vegetation
