Abstract

Summary

An analysis of the swamp fund, classification, and the temporal dynamics of the swamp areas in the Volyn region of Ukraine (1985–2024) has been carried out. The natural complex of the region has significant geoecological importance for Ukraine and Europe as a whole. The swampiness of the Western (Volyn) Polissia is the highest in Ukraine. The evaluation of the swamp fund indicates that they cover 113.5 thousand hectares in the Volyn region (swampiness is 5.63%). The region has drained 415.2 thousand hectares, including 235.1 thousand hectares through drainage systems. Polder systems have been built on 47.2 thousand hectares. Drainage-irrigation systems occupy 156.2 thousand hectares, within which the majority of swamps are located. The preservation of the biotic and landscape diversity of waterlogged landscapes is a priority task in the implementation of Ukraine’s National Biodiversity Strategy. The policy regarding wetlands is an integral part of the state’s overall environmental protection policy.
