Abstract

The realized niche of the community, which is part of the association Astragalo borysthenici-Ephedsretum Korzh. et Klyukin 1990 (union Verbascion pinnatifidi Korzh. et Klukin 1990, order Festucetalia vaginatae Soo 1957, class Festucetea vaginatae Soo 1968 em Vicherek 1972) described on a leaning dune, is discussed. Its composition is dominated by polycarpic grasses, represented by ephemerals and ephemeroids with a semi-rosette type of vegetation and a deep taproot system. An attempt has been made to predict the survival of the species found in Agropyron dasyanthum Ledeb., known as the endemic of the Lower Dnieper sands. To assess the ecological structure of the realized niche of the phytocenosis and the correspondence to it of the potential niche of fluffy flowering wheatgrass, an original program for calculating the packing density of community species on the gradients of factor-conditions and factor-resources was used: acidity of the substrate, salt regime (anionic composition), carbonate content, nitrogen content, granulometric (mechanical) composition (porosity) of the substrate). The result of the analysis was an unambiguous conclusion that Agropyron dasyanthum Ledeb. in the new conditions of the shell-detritus substrate, it ideally fit into the conditions of the climatope and, more or less, into the structure of the edaphotope. The real threat to the community is theanthropogenic impact and loss of productivity in the Sea of Azov.
