Lection 2 Theme: Vegetable group plants community, consisting of medicinal plants Authors as.- prof. Kernychna I.Z. Plan 1. Medicinal plants of steppe and meadows 2. Medicinal plants of forest 3. Weeds as medicinal plants 4. Medicinal plants on the banks of river Steppe • In physical geography, a steppe (from Russian степь, "steppe," further derivation unknown) is an ecoregion, in the montane grasslands and shrublands and temperate grasslands, savannas, and shrublands biomes, characterized by grassland plains without trees apart from those near rivers and lakes. Soil type is typically chernozem • Steppes are usually characterized by a semi-arid and continental climate. Extremes Besides this huge difference between summer and winter, the differences between day and night are also very great. • The mid-latitude steppes can be summarised by hot summers and cold winters, averaging 250– 500 mm (10-20 inches) of precipitation per year. Precipitation level alone is not what defines a steppe climate, potential evapotranspiration must also be taken into account. Two types of steppe can be recorded: • Temperate steppe: the "true" steppe, found in continental areas of the world; • Subtropical steppe: a similar association of plants that can be found in the driest areas with a Mediterranean-like climate; it has usually a short wet period Cold steppe • The world's largest steppe region, often referred to as "the Great Steppe", is found in southwestern Russia and neighbouring countries in Central Asia. Another large steppe area (prairie) is located in the central United States (North America) and western Canada • A meadow is a field vegetated primarily by grass and other non-woody plants (grassland). The term is from Old English mædwe. In agriculture a meadow is grassland which is not grazed by domestic livestock but rather allowed to grow unchecked in order to make hay. It may be naturally occurring or artificially created from cleared woodland Agricultural meadow • Especially in the United Kingdom and Ireland, the term meadow is commonly used in its original sense to mean a haymeadow, signifying grassland mown annually in the summer for making hay. "Grassland" is used to include both meadow and grass pasture. Transitional meadows • A transitional meadow occurs when a field, pasture, farmland, or other cleared land is no longer grazed by livestock and starts to display luxuriant growth extending to the flowering and seeding of its grass and wild flower species. The condition is however only temporary because the grasses eventually become shaded out when scrub and woody plants become well-established, being the forerunners of the return to a fully wooded state. A perpetual meadow is one in which environmental factors restrict the growth of woody plants indefinitely. Examples include: • Alpine meadows occur at high elevations above the tree line and are maintained by harsh climatic conditions • Coastal meadows are maintained by salt sprays • Desert meadows are restricted by low precipitation • Wet meadows are semi-wetland areas saturated with water throughout much of the year.
