Сlassification of mountain tundra of the south-eastern part of Czersky Range (Magadan region) has been carried out according to Braun-Blanquet approach. All communities represent 5 associations, 2 subassociations and 2 variants. New associations Cetrario nivalis–Rhododendretum redowskiani, Cetrario nivalis–Salicetum darpirensis, Cladonio stellaris–Vaccinietum uliginosi and Rhododendro parvifolii–Hedysaretum hedysaroidis, are included into the alliance Loiseleurio-Diapension (Br.-Bl., Siss. et Vlieg. 1939) Daniëls 1982, order Rhododendro-Vaccinietalia Br.-Bl. in Br.-Bl. et Jenny 1931 and class Loiseleurio-Vaccinietea Eggler ex Schubert 1960. Association Oxytropido ochotensis–Kobresietum myosuroidis ass.nov. is placed into the alliance Oxytropidion nigrescentis Ohba 1974, order Kobresio-Dryadetalia (Br.-Bl. 1948) Ohba 1974 and class Carici rupestris–Kobresietea Ohba 1974. Syntaxonomical position of Kobresia subalpine meadows is discussed. The des­cribed association presents the mountain tundra communities formed by dwarf-shrubs Rhododendron parvifolium, R. redowskianum (prostrate), Salixdarpirensis, Vaccinium uliginosum and mesophytic herb Hedysarum hedysaroides.Numerous lichens form the ground ­cover of these communities. The area of associations covers the alpine belt of Czersky and Kolymsky ranges at 1200–1400 m above s. l. Rare and endemic species, such as Poa kolymensis, P. tzvelevii, Oxytropis evenorum, O. ochotensis, Salix darpirensis, Sieversia pusilla, can be found there. The alpine belt area needs conservation and further floristic and ecological study.

The paper deals with the calciphyte steppe com­munities of the Seim River basin (Kursk Region), represented by the two new associations, Asperulo cynanchicae—Onobrychidietum arenariae ass. nov. and Achilleo collinae—Astragaletum onobrychis ass. nov., which form a new suballiance Bupleuro falcati—Gyp­sophi­lenion altissimae suball. nov. The diagnostic spe­cies of this unit are Anthemis tinctoria, Bupleurum falcatum, Campanula sibirica, Centaurea pseudomacu­­losa, Gypso­phila altissima, Jurinea arachnoidea, Poa compressa, Polygala sibirica, Salvia stepposa, S. ver­­ticillata, Viola rupestris and the ass. Asperulo-Ono­brychidietum is selected as its holotype. The suballiance comprises calciphyte steppe communities on Cre­ta­ceous marl outcrops in both steep and gentle southern and south-eastern gully slopes, characterized by the combination of calciphyte petrophytes and typical steppe plants. According to the diagnostic species set, the unit is referred to the alliance Festucion valesiacae Klika 1931. The studied communities may be treated as a variant of the petrophytic calciphyte steppes distributed in the south-western part of the Middle-Russian Upland.

The paper deals with the taxonomy of brachypterous species of the subgenus Bottchrus Jedlička, 1935 of the genus Trichotichnus Morawitz, 1863 occurring in the Himalayan region. The following new species are described: T. (B.) baglungensis sp. n. from the Baglung Lekh mountain range, Baglung District, western Central Nepal; T. (B.) parvulus sp. n. from Mt. Panchhase and the Krapa Danda mountain range, Kaski District, western Central Nepal; T. (B.) bubsaensis sp. n. from the eastern slope of the middle Dudh Koshi Valley near Bubsa, Solu Khumbu District, eastern Central Nepal; T. (B.) schawalleri sp. n. from the western slope of the Arun Valley, Bhojpur District, East Nepal; T. (B.) obliquebasalis sp. n. from the Khimti Khola Valley near Shivalaya, Dolakha District, eastern Central Nepal; T. (B.) panchhaseensis sp. n. from Mt. Panchhase, Kaski District, western Central Nepal; T. (B.) siklesensis sp. n. from the Sikles mountain range on the southern slope of Annapurna Peak II, western Central Nepal; T. (B.) pusillus sp. n. from the south-western slopes of Manaslu Himal (Bara Pokhari Lekh and Dudh Pokhari Lekh mountain ranges), and from the south-eastern slope of Annapurna Himal (Telbrung Danda mountain range), Lamjung District, western Central Nepal; T. (B.) ganeshensis sp. n. from the south-western slope of Ganesh Himal, Nuwakot District, Central Nepal; T. (B.) minutus sp. n. from the mountains surrounding the Kathmandu Valley (Shivapuri Lekh, Mt. Phulchoki), Central Nepal; T. (B.) gupchiensis sp. n. from the Gupchi Danda mountain range on the south-eastern slope of Manaslu Himal, Gorkha District, western Central Nepal; T. (B.) brancuccii sp. n. from the southern slope of the Helambu mountain range, Sindhupalchok District, Central Nepal; T. (B.) manasluensis sp. n. from the Bara Pokhari Lekh mountain range on the south-western slope of Manaslu Himal, Lamjung District, western Central Nepal; T. (B.) sikkimensis sp. n. from Pelling near Geyzing, West Sikkim, India; T. (B.) martensi sp. n. from the western slopes of the Singalila mountain range, Taplejung District, East Nepal. The following four species are redescribed: brachypterous T. (B.) holzschuhi Kirschenhofer, 1992; T. (B.) cyanescens Ito, 1998; T. (B.) hingstoni Andrewes, 1930; and dimorphic T. (B.) birmanicus Bates, 1892; and new data on their distribution are provided. The lectotype is designated for T. hingstoni Andrewes, 1930. The following two new synonyms are proposed: Trichotichnus birmanicus Bates, 1892 = T. (Bellogenus) probsti Kirschenhofer, 1992, syn. n., and T. hingstoni Andrewes, 1930 = T. (Pseudotrichotichnus) curvatus Ito, 1996, syn. n. The brachypterous and dimorphic species of Bottchrus known from the Himalaya are divided into eight informal groups based mostly on the degree of reduction of hindwings and the configuration of the median lobe of the aedeagus, and their relationships are briefly discussed. The distributional data of all these species are mapped.

The article discusses the main soil types of the South-Eastern Shirvan plain, the dominant plant groups and their main features. The main environmental problems of the region's soils are salinization and oil pollution in some areas. One part of the territory of the plain is Shirvan National Park. The study of soil and vegetation of the South-Eastern Shirvan plain is important not only in terms of plant formations, but also for the population of the fauna of the National Park. In particular, many plant species in the area are the main food for herds of gazelles. Key words: South-Eastern Shirvan plain, ground cover, plant cover,salt-ridden lands, biotopes
