| Summary: | “State evaluation and management plan of the protection of nature for Virbalgiris botanical-zoological reserve” Jurga Gedminas Optimal economical, recreational and cultural use of conservancy areas depends on their management plans. The total area of Virbalgiris botanical-zoological reserve is 364 hectares. Almost the whole territory of reserve is covered with forest. The reserve has 7 blocks. Small meadows are inserted into the reserve woods, and it is surrounded by agricultural fields. Effective management of the reserve is impossible without the researches of biota. The researches of flora were made in 2000-2003 in Virbalgiris botanical-zoological reserve. These researches show the forest communicaties dominate in the reserve. The most common communicaties belong to Tilio-Carpinetum association, Querco-Fagetea class. It is necessary to make an environmental management plan to keep or make better situation in the reserve. Ecological evaluation is required for setting the value of the protected area. Using traditional quantitative and qualitative parameters, the most important attention must be paid to management of Tilio-Carpinetum communicaties, important European habitats written in I appendix of habitats directive (Sub-Atlantic and medio-European oak and oak-hornbeam forests of the Carpinion betuli, and Fennoscandian wooded pastures), Untempered forest habitats (broad-leaved deciduous forests, and river slope), and 10 species of and plants (two of them are protected internationally) and three species of animals (three of them are protected internationally) under protection. The reserve is under the influence of naturals and anthropogenic factors, which have a negative effect on natural habitats of plants and animals populations. The main attention must be paid on saving and maintaining of quality habitats when preparing common management recommendations for the reserve. It is also important to enforce extensional agriculture and recognize scientific researches for better understanding of reserve environment and situation. |
