FAVORABLE ECOSYSTEMS FOR BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION

The paper includes the results of the researches on the ecological condition and biological diversity of the representative forest ecosystems Stanca and Humaria, located in the Dniester River Basin. An emphasis has been placed on the biological diversity, the distribution range of flora and fauna, the endangered status in accordance with the IUCN classification and protection status in accordance with the annexes of International Environmental Conventions. The examination of flora and fauna was made seasonally and in their different phonological development phases. The species’ systematic origin was established with the help of field reference books and specialized microscopes such as Micmed-5 and MBS-10.The valuable biodiversity of the researched forest ecosystems records species of plants and animals that are protected by both national and international laws. Based on the investigations, new habitats for a number of rare species were observed, and it is suggested that the studied forest ecosystems to be taken under state protection.
