Abstract
An inventory of alien and native species of vascular plants was taken along the Trans-Siberian Railway, from the settlement of Yerofey Pavlovich to Kundur-Khabarovskiy railway station, with the total length of 1043 km (11 % of the TSR) explored. The study encompassed sixteen railway stations located in two biomes, including Amur-Zeya Boreal Taiga with variants southern taiga and subtaiga, and Zeya-Bureya Nemoral Broadleaved Forests and Forest-Steppe ones. The highest similarity was displayed by south taiga and subtaiga variants of the Amur-Zeya Boreal Taiga biome, with Sørensen’s coefficient equaling to Ks = 46 % on embankment slopes and Ks = 45 % for rail bed, while a low measure of similarity was detected in the railway right of way (Ks = 24 %). The number of railway flora species displays a strong positive correlation with average annual temperature and average annual precipitation within the biome, and a strong negative correlation with the total number of vascular plants recorded within the biome, as well as with the biome area.
期刊介绍:
Botanica Pacifica (BP) publishes peer-reviewed, significant research of interest to a wide audience of plant scientists in all areas of plant biology (structure, function, development, diversity, genetics, evolution, systematics), all levels of organization (molecular to ecosystem), and all plant groups and allied organisms (cyanobacteria, fungi, and lichens). BP requires authors to frame their research questions and discuss their results in terms of contemporary problems of plant biology. While the geographic focus of the journal is the Pacific region, research submissions that demonstrate clear linkages with other regions are welcome. BP aims to foster the exchange of research ideas between countries with diverse cultures and languages.
