The realized niche of Myosotis discolor Pers. in Crimea

https://doi.org/581.(477.75)

Abstract

This paper examines the realized ecological niche of Myosotis discolor Pers., which was found at the bottom of a trench in an iron ore quarry that has been undergoing natural self-recovery for over 65 years (Golubev and Korzhenevsky, 1988). The analysis is based on classical geobotanical descriptions using standardized methods. The parameters of the species' ecological niche were determined using the original «Pover» program, which was developed for processing geobotanical data. The unified information on the distribution of plant species in the phytocenosis, depending on the gradients of environmental factors, was extracted from the Ecodata database, which allowed for a comparative analysis and identification of key aspects of M. discolor's adaptation to specific environmental conditions.

Based on the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that Myosotia discolor Pers. can exist in the Crimean Peninsula under real environmental conditions and resource factors. The only threat is anthropogenic impact.
