Mosses and lichens of Shokalsky Island (Kara Sea, Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area)

We studied in detail a moss-lichen component of Shokalsky Island vegetation for the first time and identified 79 species of mosses and 54 species and 2 subspecies of lichens and lichenicolous fungi. All species of mosses and 23 species and 2 subspecies of lichens and lichenicolous fungi are recorded for the first time for the island. The study is based on collections made in South West part of the island, in arctic tundra. We also explored the participation of the mosses and lichens in the main types of plant communities and the species distribution in 10 ecotopes. The paper describes the noteworthy findings (Abrothallus parmeliarum, Aongstroemia longipes, Arthonia peltigerea, Caloplaca caesiorufella, Catillaria stereocaulorum, Ceratodon heterophyllus, Lecanora leptacinella, Sphagnum concinnum, S. olafii) and features of bryo- and lichenoflora of Shokalsky Island.

Evidence relating to the ‘Mousterian’ period in the Périgord and adjacent areas of south-west France has increased strikingly—both in quantity and quality—during the past two decades (note 1, p. 166). New sites have been excavated (and old sites re-excavated) with the aid of much more refined techniques for separating the different strata and recording the finds than those employed hitherto; faunal remains have been subjected to closer and more systematic examination (Bouchud, 1966; Bordes and Prat, 1965); and the application of detailed palynological and sedimentological analyses has provided a relatively clear and firmly-established picture of the climatic and ecological conditions under which the Mousterian communities lived (Bordes et al., 1966; Bonifay, 1964; Laville, 1964a, etc.).Perhaps the most impressive advances, however, have been made in studies of the Mousterian industries themselves. Extensive application of the quantitative techniques of analyses devised by Professor F. Bordes and M. Bourgon (1951b) has permitted for the first time an objective appraisal of the full range of typological and technical variability which the Mousterian assemblages of this region embrace. On the basis of these analyses it has been possible to divide the industries into a number of relatively well-defined taxonomic groups (Bordes, 1953, 1957b, 1961a, 1968, 98–105 etc.). Although based initially on a very small body of data (Bordes and Bourgon, 1951b; Bordes, 1953), subsequent analysis of a much larger number of industries has provided strong support for at least the major features of this taxonomic scheme (Mellars, 1967, 97–145).

Sphagnum mires on the Greater Caucasus are rare, characterized by the presence of relict plant communities of glacial age and are in a stage of degradation. The study of Sphagnum of Chefandzar and Masota mires is carried out for the first time. Seven species of Sphagnum are recorded. Their distribution and frequency within the North Caucasus are analyzed. Sphagnum contortum, S. platyphyllum, S. russowii, S. squarrosum are recorded for the first time for the study area and for the flora of North Ossetia.

This is a report of a revision of 565 herbarium specimens of lichens, lichenicolous or non-lichenized fungi and additional locality records of common species produced from a visit of the Russian-Finnish expedition to Vodlozersky National Park right after its foundation in 1991. The analyzed collection and field records represent the earliest information about the lichen flora of the territory of the park. In total, 177 species are listed including 173 lichens, 3 non-lichenized and 1 lichenicolous fungi. Xylographa rubescens is new to the Republic of Karelia. Twenty two species are reported for the first time for biogeographic province Karelia transonegensis; 47 species for the Karelian part of Vodlozersky National Park; and 17 species for the whole territory of the park.

3 new associations, distributed in the Southern Nechernozemie of Russia, are described for the first time with use of the Braun-Blanquet approach: Poo angustifoliae–Arrhenatheretum elatioris, Festuco pratensis–Leucanthemetum vulgaris, Trifolio arvensi–Rumicetum thyrsiflori. The synecological amplitudes of humidity, acidity and soil richness by mineral nitrogen of the associations are defined. Communities of ass. Poo angustifoliae–Arrhenatheretum elatioris are distributed on the flat slopes of ravines on the dry, subacidic, grey wood loamy soils moderately rich by mineral nitrogen. Communities of ass. Festuco pratensis–Leucanthemetum vulgaris are distributed on fresh, subacidic, rather poor in mineral nitrogen grey and dark grey wood loamy soils on the fallow lands of various age within landscapes of loess plateau; on sod-podzolic loamy, sandy and subsandy soils within landscapes of fluvioglacial loamy and moraine-outwash plains. They can meet occasionally on grey wood loamy soils. Communities of the Potentilla argentea var. are distributed on grey and dark grey wood loamy soils on the fallow lands within landscapes of loess plateau. Communities of the Medicago lupulina var. are distributed on sod-podzolic loamy, sandy and subsandy subacidic, rather poor in mineral nitrogen soils on the fallow lands of various age. They may occur in the small sites on the continental meadows or along highways. Occasionally these plant communities can be found on grey wood loamy soils. Communities of ass. Trifolio arvensi–Rumicetum thyrsiflori are distributed on raised sites on gentle-wavy outwash or moraine-outwash plains on dry and moderately sour, poor by mineral nitrogen easily sandy and sandy podzol soils. For the estimation of a homotoneity of established syntaxa the index of homotoneity of H.Passarge (1979) is used. The ass. Poo angustifoliae–Arrhenatheretum elatioris is characteristic by the high homogenetic variability. Totally, association’s index of homotoneity is high — 0.52. The low index of a homotoneity is characteristic for аss. Festuco pratensis–Leucanthemetum vulgaris — 0.35, for the Potentilla argentea var. — 0.33 and Medicago lupulina var. — 0.44. Following associations have a low index of the homotoneity: аss. Trifolio arvensi–Rumicetum thyrsiflori — 0.33, as in subass. T.a.–R.th. typicum— 0.33, and in subass. T.a.–R.th. helichrysetosum arenarii — 0.44. Such low indexes of a homotoneity are characteristic for semiruderal and serial communities.
