“Animals and plants of the Voronezh State Natural Biosphere Reserve named after V.M. Peskov »

To systematize the initial knowledge about typical representatives of the flora and fauna of the Voronezh State Natural Biosphere Reserve named after V.M. Peskov...

Mordovia State Nature Reserve is located on the territory of the Republic of Mordovia, in the Temnikovsky district. The reserve, whose total area is 32,148 hectares, was organized on March 5, 1936.

The forest-steppe type of climate prevails in the protected area. On average, the thermometer rises to 4 ° C with a plus sign. The lowest temperatures are observed in January (-11.5…-12.3°С), the highest – in July (18.9…19.8°С). The local climate is formed under the influence of air masses of three types: tropical, temperate latitudes and arctic. Maritime and continental air masses are observed.

Arctic air from the north leads to a sharp drop in air temperature; in autumn and spring, it causes a return of frost and cold weather. Southeast winds are directly related to dry periods in protected areas. About 480 mm of precipitation falls annually on the territory of the Mordovia Reserve.

The hydrographic network is formed by rivers moksha and Satis, as well as tributaries of the latter: Vyaz-Pushta, Chernaya, Pushta. There are lakes that are typical floodplain oxbow lakes. The relief is flat and slightly wavy: the nature reserve is located on the Oka-Don lowland.

Mordovian nature reserve and its flora and fauna

Most of Mordovian reserve(96%) is covered with forest, half of these areas are covered with pine forests, growing mainly on sandy soils. Green moss pine forests are widespread. Birch forests predominate in the eastern and western parts. Linden forests are concentrated mainly in the central and western parts. Aspen plantations are spread throughout the reserve.

The reserve was established in 1936 and named after the statesman Pyotr Smidovich, who paid much attention to the issues of nature protection in the country. The total area of ​​the reserve is more than 32 thousand hectares. The combination of different geographical zones - taiga and broad-leaved forests and forest-steppe, in which the reserve is located, determines the diversity of its flora and fauna. The main river of the reserve is Pushta, 28 kilometers long. The reserve is completely covered with forests. Half of them are pine. Birch massifs predominate in the eastern and western parts, linden forests dominate in the central part. Here you can also see dry lichen forests, damp spruce forests and black alder poplars. In the floodplain of the Moksha River, oaks grow, whose age is one hundred and forty - one hundred and fifty years. Sometimes there are more ancient giants, whose age reaches three hundred years.

In the Mordovian Reserve, there are many rare plants and fungi, including the lady's slipper orchid, neottiantha klobuchkovy, the rarest lichens - lobaria pulmonary and menegation bored, mushroom-ram. The reserve is inhabited by the Apollo butterfly, hymenopterous carpenter bee and parnodos, powerful birds of prey white-tailed eagle, greater spotted eagle, graceful black stork, relic animal Russian muskrat and other species of animals listed in the Red Book of the Russian Federation. The forests of the Mordovia Reserve are a refuge for ungulates and predatory animals - elk, deer, wild boar, marten, lynx, brown bear, wolf, fox. Over the years of its existence, the Mordovian Reserve has restored the number of almost completely exterminated beavers. Work began in the late thirties of the last century. Now in the basin of the Moksha river, beavers have become quite numerous.

In the Mordovian Reserve, ecological tourism is intensively developing - a journey into the world of untouched nature, an opportunity to escape from everyday life and relax your soul. In the Mordovia Reserve, ecological trails, recreation areas have been created, visit centers and other objects for visiting are being opened. It offers visitors 8 tour programs for every taste. Among them are expeditions to the cordons of Inorsky and Pavlovsky, weekend tours along the protected paths, a walk along the mythological route "The Path of the Ancestors" with a performance based on the Mordovian epic and master classes in making a talisman doll. For tourists, a survival course in the forest has also been developed - an extreme tour in field conditions, with a field kitchen and a bathhouse on the lake, master classes, excursions and a 6-kilometer hike.

The Museum of Nature operates in the Mordovia Reserve. It is located on his central estate in the village of Pushta. This is one of the oldest museums of this kind located in the reserves of Russia. The collections collected over the long years of the museum's existence are a permanent exhibition of great importance in the study of the animal world of the reserve. The museum reveals all the diversity and uniqueness of the animal world of the only reserve in the region and is represented by four exhibition halls: "Fauna", "Insects", "Flora", "Fish, amphibians, reptiles".

Hall "Fauna" tells about representatives of the animal world of the reserve. The expositions are memorable scenes from the life of animals and birds at different times of the year.

The exhibition hall "Insects" introduces visitors to the collections of insects and the most typical representatives of the fauna of the reserve, living in various ecosystems. A real hornet's nest is presented with a garland of wasps and hornets. The most interesting and rare algae, mushrooms and plants are presented in the Flora hall, as well as a saw cut of a tree that is over 130 years old. In the “Fish, Amphibians, Reptiles” hall, you can see the structure of the heads of snakes and fish skeletons on models, listen to frogs, touch a toad, look into the mouth of a viper and “catch” fish. The museum is equipped with a video hall for watching educational films.
