Experiment of reintroduction of rare species Oxytropis approximata Less. in South Urals (Bashkortostan Republic)

The results of the experiment in reintroduction of rare endemic species Oxytropis approximata Less. in the South Urals (2005-2014 yr.) are presented in the article. Artificial seeding of this species in natural habitats gives seedling and forms “micropopulations” including plants of all age conditions. Plants become in the generative period from 2-3 years of development. The prospect of artificial sowing of seeds in critical populations with the aim of restoring and maintaining their numbers is shown.
