Experience of transplanting a population of a red book plant species in the conditions of the beginning of reconstruction works in the protected area of the oil pipeline
The article highlights the experience of transplanting Anemone nemorosa L. listed in the Red Book of Vladimir
Region as a rare species (status category 3). A special feature of this work is the transplantation of A. nemorosa in the
autumn period, in connection with the beginning of the reconstruction works in the protected zone of the oil pipeline at
the place of A. nemorosa natural growth. To further preserve the native population of A. nemorosa in natural conditions,
a new transplant site was chosen which is close in ecological and phytocenotic conditions to the place of natural growth
and does not fall into the zone of reconstruction works. The work was coordinated with the relevant state environmental
organizations. The article provides data on the geobotanical description of the source and recipient habitats of A. nemorosa,
presents the results of chemical analysis of soils, assesses the viability of transplanted plants, and describes step-bystep the method of transplanting this type of plant. Over the next two years, spring phenological observations showed that A. nemorosa successfully underwent an autumn transplant and adapted to a new location. Monitoring studies have
confirmed the stability of the formed artificial population of A. nemorosa, which is an important factor for self-renewal of
the population, conservation of the biological diversity of rare and endangered plants, and the integrity of the ecosystem
of this territory. The developed technique for transplanting Anemone nemorosa in late autumn allows, in some cases, to
push the time limits for translocation of rare and endangered plant species, and to preserve valuable populations in the
cases of a real anthropogenic impact.
