Analysis of the Ontogenetic and Vital Structure of Lunaria Rediviva Cenopopulation on the Territory of Sumy Geobothanical District

Abstract

For the five cenopopulations of Lunaria rediviva, which grow in broadleaved forests of the Sumy geobotanical region, an ontogenetic structure was established and its integral estimation was carried out. For these cenopopulations, the vital structure is also defined. It has been determined that the four cenopopulations are balanced by virtue of their vital characteristics, and one cenopopulation is prosperous. On the basis of the integrated consideration of the signs of ontogenetic and vital structure, a generalization was made regarding the state of the studied cenopopulations and the location conditions were determined which are most favorable for their existence. Prospects for further phytopopulation studies of this species in forest groups of the studied region are outlined.
