In this paper we consider the list of species of allergenic plants as well as the species diversity of those plants as a whole in plain regional biomes of Russia. Statistical analysis of correlation between number of allergenic plants in the regional biomes and climatic indices was carried out made. The schematic maps were compiled and analyzed.  It can be assumed that allergenic plants flowering during spring dominate the biomes of broadleaved forests and forest steppe, whereas the number of allergenic species flowering during summer is higher in forest-steppe and steppe biomes. The closest connection was detected between the number of species flowering during summer and average annual temperatures. Comparatively close connection was detected between the total number of allergenic species and average annual temperatures. Nevertheless, connection between the total numbers of allergenic plants in the studied biomes and the biomes aridity appeared to be weak.

Keywords: allergenic plants, regional biomes, climatic factors, aridity, correlation analysis, cartographic analysis.

EVALUATION OF THE NATURALLY CAUSED HAZRADS IN THE «ILE-BALKHASH» NATURE RESERVE, KAZAKHSTAN

Arid Ecosystems

Koroleva E.G.,  Dikareva T.V.,  Dikarev V.A. EVALUATION OF THE NATURALLY CAUSED HAZRADS IN THE «ILE-BALKHASH» NATURE RESERVE, KAZAKHSTAN // Arid ecosystems. 2019. V. 25. № 4 (81). P. 61-70. | PDF

In this article we evaluate medically, ecologically and biogeographically the potential naturally caused hazards in the territory of the “Ile-Balkhash” nature reserve of the Republic of Kazakhstan, considering the tourist activities, planned for this reserve. The analysis of the influence factors was carried out for the allergenic and poisonous plants, as well as for the natural niduses. The medical-geographical risk is in the functioning of 5 natural niduses of nosological entities in the reserve’s territory; tularemia and brucellosis have the highest sickness rate among people throughout the region. The presence of vector-mammals and growth of many poisonous and allergenic plants in those territories prove the danger and suppose the necessity of regular medical-ecological monitoring. The present methodological evaluation scheme of such naturally caused hazards can be applied for other arid regions as well.

Keywords: natural reserve, naturally caused hazard, allergenic plants, natural focal infections.
