Central Siberian Botanical Garden SB RAS, Novosibirsk, Russia
Keywords: Festuco-Brometea, Brachypodietalia pinnati, vegetation, floristic classification, steppes, meadows, Siberia, Eastern Kazakhstan

Abstract >>
Steppes and xeric meadows represent the most important element of zonal complexes in steppe and forest-steppe zones, as well as the corresponding altitudinal belts in mountains. These communities are floristically rich and extremely difficult to classify. The article revises the system of floristic classification of Siberian steppes and meadows representing the class Festuco-Brometea Br.-Bl. et R. Tx. in Br.-Bl. 1947. A formalized cluster analysis of 70 associations from Siberia, Kazakhstan, the Cis-Urals, the Urals and Trans-Urals was carried out (Fig. 1). Order Brachypodietalia pinnati Korneck 1974 (Syntax. syn. Stipetalia sibiricae Korolyuk et Makunina 2001) in Siberia and the adjacent regions of Kazakhstan unites communities of xeric meadows and meadow steppes. It includes 4 alliances and 27 associations.

Keywords: vascular plants, synopsis of species, protected species, Western Tannu-Ola Range, Tyva Republic

Abstract >>
Floras of mountain territories are of interest due to their species richness. The purpose of this work was to compile a checklist of the flora of the Western Tannu-Ola Range, to reveal protected species of the flora and species that were not previously indicated for the nature region of Tyva, to which the territory of the range belongs. To compile the checklist, data from the author’s expeditions in 2002, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2014 and 2019 were used, as well as the herbarium by other botanists collected on the Western Tannu-Ola Range in 1946-1993 and stored in the Herbaria of the Central Siberian Botanical Garden (NS, NSK). The herbarium was collected in 27 localities, rather evenly distributed over the territory of the range and its foothills. Electronic databases of field records and herbarium specimen labels, created by the author in MS Access, were used in checklist compiling for obtaining information on the distribution and ecological features of species on the Western Tannu-Ola Range. The flora of the Western Tannu-Ola Range comprises 981 species and subspecies of vascular plants which belong to 344 genera and 79 families. The 10 biggest families are Asteraceae (119 species and subspecies), Poaceae (106), Fabaceae (67), Rosaceae (64), Caryophyllaceae (53), Cyperaceae (50), Ranunculaceae (48), Brassicaceae (45), Lamiaceae (35) and Scrophulariaceae (30). All the ten largest families are the same as the ten largest families of the Boreal Region. The family Fabaceae is one of the three largest families of the flora, what was revealed for the flora of the adjacent Tsagan-Shibetu Range and what is peculiar for the Turan floras in the Middle Asia and the flora of Mongolia in the Central Asia. These facts apparently are due tо situation of the Western Tannu-Ola Range on the world watershed, as a result of what its flora has features of both North Asian and Central Asian floras. Twenty six species of the flora are under federal or regional protection and are included into the Red Data Book of the Russian Federation and/or the Red Data Book of the Tyva Republic as rare or reducing in number.

Keywords: mires, flora of vascular plants, Red Data Book, specially protected natural areas, rare species, Sverdlovsk Region

Abstract >>
The presented work contains the results of studying the floristic diversity of vascular plants in protected mires in the southern part of the Sverdlovsk Region (Russia). The studies were carried out on four peat lowland plain mires: Boloto u ozera Kukuyan, Belskoye, Savvateevskiy Ryam and Bakhmetskoe. The article provides a list of discovered species of vascular plants. In total, 135 species of vascular plants belonging to 88 genera, 46 families and 5 divisions were identified in the flora of the studied mires. The leading families in terms of the number of species are Cyperaceae, Rosaceae, Poaceae, Salicaceae, Asteraceae and Ericaceae, the leading genera are Carex and Salix. A relatively low level of species similarity between the mires floras under consideration was revealed - the average value of the Jaccard coefficient is 0.25. The highest values of similarity coefficients (0.37) were noted for the flora of geographically close bogs - Bakhmetsky and Belsky, located on the territory of the Pripyshminskiye Bory National Park. The flora is dominated by plurizonal and boreal species with a wide distribution (Holarctic, European-West Asian and Eurasian). Among the biomorphological groups, polycarpic herbs are of significant importance (83 species, 62 %) of which 37 % are rhizomatous plants. In the studied mires, cenopopulations of 2 rare species listed in the Red Data Book of the Sverdlovsk Region were recorded (Neottianthe cucullata, Platanthera bifolia). In addition to rare species, the studied peat bogs serve as a habitat for relict plants. For example, Calluna vulgaris grows in the Bakhmetskoe mire.

Keywords: Delphinium grandiflorum, seasonal development, phenology, reproductive biology, seed productivity, embryo, forest-steppe, Western Siberia

Abstract >>
The article reports the results of the following studies: seasonal development, seed production and embryo conditions in the mature seeds of Delphinium grandiflorum L. The research was done over two years (2021-2022). The species successfully goes through all phenophases, one generative shoot forms 299-700 pcs. seeds. For the first time, significant differences were revealed in the number of flowers and fruits on the main axis of synflorescence and paracladia of various orders, as well as in the number of ovules in flowers and seeds in fruits located on different parts of synflorescence. The article presents the influence of vegetation period hydrothermal conditions on seed productivity and quality of seeds. The weather conditions of 2022 year were the most favorable for the growth and development of D. grandiflorum, which was expressed in the early beginnings of phenophases, high seed productivity, and the more developed embryos in mature seeds. This may be due to the fact that during the budding and flowering of D. grandiflorum there were absence of significant fluctuations in air temperature and humidity. D. grandiflorum plants are promising for cultivation in Western Siberia according to the following reproductive indicators: seasonal development, seed productivity and development of embryos in seeds.

Keywords: rare plant species, monitoring, regional flora, Red Book of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area, Western Siberia, Tyumen Region

Abstract >>
The difficult natural conditions of the Purovsky District of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area determine the insufficient floristic knowledge of this territory. The high degree of anthropogenic transformation of the vegetation of the area makes it necessary to identify habitats of rare plant species in order to preserve and restore their numbers. The expedition studies carried out by the authors in 2019 allowed us to obtain new information about the distribution of 6 rare plant species. Three species (Corallorhiza trifida Chatel., Botrychium multifidum (S.G. Gmelin) Rupr., Neottia cordata (L.) Rich.) have small locations within the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area and were first found in the Purovsky district. For three species (Goodyera repens (L.) R. Br., Dactylorhiza fuchsii (Druce) Soó, Lycopodiella inundata (L.) Holub), new locations have been identified that are significantly removed from previously known ones. Three species are included in the main list of the Red Book of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area (Corallorhiza trifida, Dactylorhiza fuchsii, Lycopodiella inundata), two - in the Appendix to it (Botrychium multifidum, Goodyera repens). A rare species of the Orchidaceae family, Neottia cordata, was previously known from two localities in the mountainous part of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area; two new localities were identified in the Purovsky district. In one of them, a large population of Neottia cordata was noted, which is of particular importance for the conservation of the species, because Currently, the number of localities in the Russian part of Neottia cordata is decreasing. The species needs protection and should be included in the Red Book of the region. The presented data complements information on the distribution of rare plant species and is necessary for further monitoring.
