Dynamics of coenopopulations and distribution Asclepias Syriaca L. in various habitats of agricultural landscapes and adjacent lands in Central Russia

Abstract

Asclepias syriaca L. is species-introduced with high potential as a source of biofuel, an important fodder crop for beekeeping, a possible source of biologically active substances. However, the species has a high invasive activity and may pose a threat to the biodiversity of natural plant communities. And also pose an economic threat to agroecosystems as a segetal species. In agricultural landscapes of central Russia in various habitats the dynamics and state of coenopopulation of the introduced in the crop species A. syriaca, which has a high potential invasive hazard at this moment, was studied. Research was conducted in 2012, 2018 and 2019 in the Belgorod region near the village Kulma, Novooskolskiy urban district
