Abstract

Common ragweed Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. is an aggressive adventive quarantine species that is widespread in the southern regions of Russia. In the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, freshly-plowed meadows and fresh deposits after cereals in the foothill zone and weedy sites are the optimal conditions for the species spread. Common ragweed has recently actively penetrated into the mountain regions of the republic. On the basis of the study of the ecological–cenotic and ecological–biological features of A. artemisiifolia, a number of recommendations on limiting its distribution within Kabardino-Balkaria have been developed.
