- The Sea of Azov is a small sea (approx. 39,000 km²) in south-eastern Europe (Figure 1) and lies southeast of Ukraine and southwesterly of Russia. The region includes the coastal areas of southern Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia, “Northern Pryazovʼya” and “Prysyvashshia” (east of the Kherson region), “Crimean Pryazovʼya” (east of the Crimea), “Don Pryazovʼya” (northwest of the Rostov region) and the region west of the Krasnodar (“Eastern Pryazovʼya”).

- The alliance Artemisio tauricae-Festucion valesiacae comprises saline steppe vegetation. […] In Ukraine such communities are distributed in the far south of the steppe zone, Prysyvashshia, in the lowlands along the Black Sea and along the Sea of Azov, between the Dnieper and Molochna rivers, and in the Crimean Prysyvashshia.

It occurs on the southernmost part of the country, in the lowlands along the Black Sea and along the Sea of Azov, between the Tiligul and Molochna rivers, Tarkhankut and Kerch Peninsulas, and in the Crimean Prysyvashshia.

- Since the flyways and wintering territories of the Taiga Bean Goose are located in the northern part of Ukraine (Poluda, 2009), in the Azov-Black Sea region only single birds and small flocks of this species were observed. Thus during the 18.01–2.02.2002 in the steppe part of Crimea and in the Kherson Prysyvashshia were counted only six wintering individuals, occurred near Koyashske Lake on the Kerch Peninsula, four of which were A. f. fabalis and two individuals — A. f. rossicus (Grinchenko et al., 2003).

- In Ukraine, Cyclachaena xanthiifolia is a typical eurytopic species, that is, it has a wide ecological amplitude. It grows well and develops in wide weather and climatic divides: from semi-ombrophytic climate (1,000 mm, Pre-Carpathian, Transcarpathia) to arid one (less than 350 mm, Prysyvashshia) in terms of climate humidity; […]

- On the left bank of Dnieper and in northern Prysyvashshia, the strip of dry steppe of mainland part expands to 100 km. Starting from the left bank of Molochnyi estuary, the width of the strip decreases sharply and in the river mouth part of Lozuvatka, it wedges out to the coast of the Sea of Azov. It is the eastern limit of distribution of dry steppe landscapes in Ukraine. [¶] Within Crimea, dry steppe landscapes are widespread in Prysyvashshia; it is in the northern and eastern lower parts of the peninsula with absolute heights of 0−40 m. Here, its strip stretches from Bakalska strip through Pervomaisk village; it is further to the north of Krasnohvardiiske village through Sovetske village to the base of Arabatska Spit (Marynych et al., 1985; Marynych, 1990−1993).

- Northern Prysyvashshia consists of the Askaninskyi and Henicheskyi landscape regions, except the southern part (Fig. 3). A typical feature of the subregion is significant distribution of padings, which are expressed well in relief and vegetation cover. Padings are flat-bottomed, inaccessible reduction of relief, which range in size from several tens of meters to 10 km in diameter, with an area of hundreds and thousands of square meters (Marynych, 1990−1993). The largest (up to 5−10 km in diameter, and some even larger) have well-expressed slopes of different steepness and erosion system around the perimeter in the form of basins, balks, and small rivers flowing into them. Sloping declivities of the padings are plowed, and steep slopes and bottoms are used for pasture cattle or hayfields. At the same time, at the background of agricultural fields, most of which are under irrigation and, therefore, practically they are inaccessible steppe species of bird, padings are origonal refugium for many zonal representatives of ornithological fauna. The region is different with the lowest amount of precipitation, the highest evaporation, and the lowest indicators of relative humidity and surface runoff.

- Ornithologists of Southern Ukraine traditionally divide the studied area into several subregions (Chernichko et al., 1993), generally corresponding to standard physical-geographical zoning of the dry steppe zone within Ukraine (Popov et al., 1968; Podgorodetskii, 1988; Marinich et al., 1985) but having a slightly different configuration from the ornithological point of view (Andryushchenko & Vorovka, 2022): the northern part of the Black Sea region (Left-bank and Right-bank in relation to the Dnipro River, or further in the text RB Prychornomoria and LB Prychornomoria, respectively), the Lower Dnipro (Lower Dnipro), the northern part of Syvash region (N Prysyvashshia), Syvash, north-western part of the Azov Sea region (NW Pryazovia), Western Crimea, Central Crimea, the Kerch Peninsula (Kerch Peninsula), the foothills of the Crimean mountains (Foothills) (fig. 1).

- Steppes on the flat elevated areas (plakors) of Central Crimea, N Prysyvashshia, RB Prychornomoria and LB Prychornomoria, NW Pryazovia are barely remained intact, and steppe bird species that could occupy agricultural fields are forced out by irrigation, rice cultivation, afforestation and horticulture, to the remaining steppe patches on the slopes of gullies and river valleys, on the islands of the limans and seas.

- Thus, according to the long-term observations of the Prysyvashshia Agroforestry Research Station during the years with prolonged droughts and hot winds (1972, 1975, 1976, 1979), the increase of the crop owing to forest shelter-belts in southern regions was: for winter wheat – 3.5 cwt/ha, for spring barley – 2.5 cwt/ha, for sunflower – 2.2 cwt/ha.
