History
A local botanical reserve of small importance The phyllophore field was created by Decree of the Verkhovna Rada of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea dated December 22, 2010 No. 126-6 / 10 “On the expansion and streamlining of the network of territories and objects of the nature reserve fund in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea”. The reserve of national importance was founded on August 31, 2012 by Order of the President of Ukraine of August 31, 2012 No. 527/2012, by reorganizing the eponymous botanical reserve of local importance.
Description
The purpose of the reserve is to protect a colony of algae from the genus Phyllophora .
Located in the waters of the Karkinitsky Gulf of the Black Sea. This is one of the four conservation sites in the Karkinitsky Bay (others: Swan Islands, Karkinitsky, partially Bakalskaya Spit).
The boundaries of the reserve are determined by the coordinates:
The nearest settlement is Krasnoperekopsk .
Nature
On the territory of the reserve 4 species of algae, 4 species of crustaceans, 7 species of fish, 1 species of bivalve mollusks and 3 species of marine mammals, which are listed in the Red Book of Ukraine, were recorded.
Dominant among the bottom vegetation are species of the genus red algae ( Rhodóphyta ) phyllophora ( Phyllophora ): Ph. crispa PS Dixon ( Ph. nervosa Grev. ); Ph. truncata Zinova ( Ph. brodiaei J. Ag ); Ph. pseudoseranoides Newr. ( Ph. Membranifolia J. Ag ), Ph. pseudoceranoides .
Off the coast: in shallow water, communities of sea grass develop a small sea-clown ( Zostera nana Hornem ), with depth they are replaced by phytocenoses a sea-clown ( Zostera marina ). The central part of the Karkinitsky Gulf is the habitat of the species of phyllophore of Crispus ( Ph. Crispa sf. Shaerica ) - spherical loose algae. The maximum projective cover of the bottom at the Small Phyllophore field refers to depths of 6-10 m, where there are areas of almost closed vegetation cover of phytocenoses phyllophores and zosters (seaside) .
In September 2008, 25 species of bottom vegetation were found in the floristic composition of the phytobenthos of the Karkinitsky Bay, including flowering macrophytes ( Thalassiophyta ), macroscopic algae (departments: green Chlorophyta , charophyte Charophyta and red Rhodophyta ), and blue-green algae ( Cyanophyta ).
