| Summary: | Oleshkivski Sands National Park is situated within Kozachelagerska and Chalbaska arenas of Lower Dnipro sands and has an area of about 8020.36 ha. The Park’s area consists of three territorially separated sections: Radenska (on Kozachelagerska arena), Burkutska (on Chalbaska are-na) and the area around the artificial ponds of Novokakhovsky Fish Breeding Farm. The territory of the farm is part of the economic zone of Oleshkivski Sands National Park and it is located in the Kakhovka Raion of Kherson Oblast, in Kozachelagerska arena of Lower Dnieper sands. The area of the farm is 1003.2865 ha and the area of the water surface is 854.6624 ha. There are 17 species of plants in the territory of Oleshkivski Sands National Park, which are invasive in Ukraine. For each invasive species of the Park’s flora, the area of origin is indicated, as well as its location in the Park, the degree of its occurrence, phytocenotic status, and influence on the vegetation cover. The first group includes 7 species: Acer negundo L. (occasionally), Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle (occasionally), Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. (relatively often), Bidens fron-dosa L. (occasionally), Cenchrus longispinus (Hack.) Fernald. (quarantine) (infrequently), Grindelia squar-rosa (Pursh.) Dunal (infrequently), Iva xanthiifolia Nut. (infrequently). The second group includes 1 species: Robinia pseudoacacia L. (infrequently), while the third group consists of 9 species: Amaranthus albus L. (occasionally), Amaranthus retroflexus L. (infrequently), Anisantha tectorum (L.) Nevski (relatively often), Cannabis ruderaIis Janisch. (infrequently), Centaurea diffusa Lam. (relatively often), Conyza canadensis (L.) Cronq. (often), Cuscuta campestris Yunck. (quarantine) (occasionally), EIaeagnus angustifoIia L. (often), Xanthium albinum (Widder) H. Scholz. (infrequently). We propose to include two species of flora of the Park into the checklist of invasive species, in particular Corynephorus canescens (L.) P. Beauv (often), Portu-laca oleracea L. (infrequently). A short description of floristic complexes of the Park is given.
