Assessment of the vital condition of Atlantic pistachio (Pistacia atlantica Desf.) in the botanical monument of nature «Ushakova Balka»
Abstract
One of the most effective methods of maintaining the conservation of the gene pool of rare plant species is territorial protection realized in reserves and other categories of specially protected natural areas.
The aim of this study was to investigate the vital state of plants of the natural population of the relict Mediterranean species of Atlantic pistachio (Pistacia atlantica Desf.) in the botanical natural monument «Ushakova Balka» (Sevastopol, Republic of Crimea).
It was established that the age of pistachio trees growing in the territory of the natural monument is from 194 to 339 years, and their vital state is characterized as weakened. The ultrasonic tomography method revealed the presence of destructive processes in the wood of only old-aged specimens (300+).
