Existed since the late 60-ies of the last century, Laboratory of vegetation of the arid zone V. L. Komarov Botanical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1993 was transformed into a Laboratory of vegetation of the steppe zone of geopolitical change led to the fact that the arid lands presents now in our country is mainly steppes. Since then 10 years have passed, it is already possible to draw some conclusions. As a result of human activities, the steppe, like most grassy biomes arid regions of the world, almost completely destroyed, and the remaining vegetation is degraded. In this regard, one of the goals of this Laboratory is to determine (primarily in the European part of the country, subjected to the most heavy anthropogenic load), where fragments of steppes and what is their condition.

Lectotypes of twelve names of Fungi published by Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg from Adelbert von Chamisso’s collection (Auricularia cornea, Agaricus copulatus, Boletus katui, B. sector, Hypochnus nigrocinctus, Hysterium gracile, H. orbiculare, Naemaspora tularostoma, Sphaeria eschscholtzii, S. fur, S. profuga, Triblidium arcticum) are designated. It was thought that fungal collection made by Chamisso during the voyage around the world on board the Russian brig «Rurik» (1815–1818) had been lost, but many of his samples of fungi were re-discovered in 2013 in the Mycological Herbarium of the Komarov Botanical Institute (St. Petersburg, LE) including original material of ten Ehrenberg’s taxa. For Hypochnus rubrocinctus which was lectotypified earlier by Aptroot et al. (2009) the additional type material kept in the Lichenological Herbarium of the Komarov Botanical Institute (LE) is cited. It is supposed that original collections of Campsotrichum unicolor and Thamnomyces chamissonis may be kept in Fries herbarium (UPS).
