Abstract
Monitoring of known locations and finding of new populations of species listed in the Red Book are necessary for the adoption of effective protection measures: the creation of specially protected natural area regulation of economic activities. The foothills of the Western Altai, a unique region of humid true herb-rich-bunchgrasses steppe communities, is the key importance for the conservation of biodiversity of the steppes of Russia and needs special attention of environmental organizations (Smelyanskiy et al., 2005). In 2011-2018 field studies of large steppe massifs of several admini strative regions of the Altai Krai: Zmeinogorskiy, Krasnoshchekovskiy, Kuryinskiy, Loktevskiy, Tretyakovskiy, Shipunovskiy, were conducted. The studies were carried out by the route method for floristic study and find locations of rare Red Book’s species, some vouchers were send in the Herbarium of the Central Siberian Garden SB RAS [NS] (USU 440534). We found 63 locations for 19 rare species (of Alliaceae, Asphodelaceae, Brassicaceae, Dipsacaceae, Fabaceae, Fumariaceae, Iridaceae, Liliaceae, Malvaceae, Paeoniaceae, Poaceae, Polyganaceae, Ranunculaceae families). Locations are pointed on maps (Figs. 1, 2, 3). There are species of the Red Book of Altai Krai: Allium fl avescens Besser, A. tulipifolium Ledeb., Ere murus altaicus (Pall.) Steven, Galitzkya spatulata (Steph. ex Willd.) V.V. Botschantz., Scabiosa austro-altaica Bobrov, Oxy tropis inaria (Pall.) DC., Oxytropis setosa (Pall.) DC., Corydalis schanginii (Pall.) B. Fedtsch., Iris glaucescens Bunge, Tu lipa patens C. Agardh ex Schult Schult.f., Alcea froloviana (Litv.) Iljin, A. nudifl ora (Lindl.) Boiss., Paeonia hybrida Pall., Atraphaxis frutescens (L.) K. Koch, Adonis wolgensis Steven ex DC. Among them 30 new locations discovered for 12 species, including Stipa dasyphylla (Lindem.) Trautv. and S. zalesskii Wilensky of Red Data Book of the Russian Federation. We find the second location in Altai Krai for Allium fl avescens , the tird - for Galitzkya spatulata and Alcea nudifl ora . We found Astragalus depauperatus Ledeb. and A. macropterus DC. at the north-western borders of areal. Both species are Pleistocene relicts, very rare in Altai Krai, spread sporadically own areals, due to stenotopic ecological valence. We recommend to including their in the Red Book of Altai Krai with status 3a (rare species). Findings populations of rare species are in well condition. The presented data can be used for the reprint of the Red Book and Checklist flora of Altai Krai.
