Abstract:
The article gives a geobotanical description and a floristic analysis of communities with the participation of the rare and
relict species Alnus glutinosa in condition of Aktobe region. The aim of the study is to provide a geobotanical assessment
of the current status of a rare, relict species of the Alnus glutinosa population, which was included in the Red Data Book
of Kazakhstan. At present, the flora of the Aktobe region is not sufficiently studied. Conservation of the biodiversity of the
Aktobe region flora is one of the most topical issues. In Aktobe region, due to the lack of grazing, felling of trees, using
as fuel and the emergence of uncontrolled tourism and at the same time due to the lack of natural renewal of the area,
these consequences lead to a quantitative reduction in the species. In this regard, it is necessary to study the species
and organize protection and conservation measures. The results of the study showed that the plant Alnus glutinosa is
rarely found in the flora of Kazakhstan and also the distribution areas are reduced. Of the three investigated points,
plants from 24 families were identified. Plant communities of Alnus glutinosa are being studied for the first time in the
Aktobe region. For the first time in the conditions of the Aktobe region, the habitat of black alder was discovered. The
floral composition of plant communities of Alnus glutinosa grown in various ecological environments was revealed,
the ratio of life forms and phytocenotic features were studied for the first time. In addition, alder felt mite and ground
bug, damaging black alder, were identified from 3 studied populations. It has been established that the main reason
for the spread of this pest is a very strong moistening of the ground on which sticky Alder grows. Results sequencing
showed that the DNA sample under study belongs to the fungus Alternaria alternata.
