Abstract

One of the elements that ensure the sustainability of the environment is the vegetation cover. The vegetation cover contributes to the balanced functioning of ecosystems. It is the national parks rich in phytodiversity that attract the attention of scientists. The article presents an ecological analysis of the flora of the Kremenets Mountains National Park. The research was carried out in the areas of the mountains Divochi Skeli, Strakhova, Masliatyn, Chercha, Zamkova, Bozha. 10 florocoenotypes were identified in the study areas. The most numerous is the nemoral forest coenotype. The flora was analyzed for abiotic factors such as light, temperature, humidity, soil. It is these indicators that have an important impact on the formation of vegetation cover and the life processes of plants. It was found that facultative heliophytes, mesothermal plants, mesophytes, and mesotrophs predominate in the study areas. The vegetation cover has clear forest-steppe features. The classification of life forms of plants is given. Relicts and endemics are confined to steppe and calcepetrophilic areas. Flora synanthropization is observed on the study areas.
