Distribution, ecology and conservation of the Potamogeton alpinus Balb. (Potamogetonaceae Bercht. & J. Presl) on the southern border of range in European Russia
Potamogeton alpinus Balb. is a Holarctic arctoboreal aquatic plant species. In European Russia, it is a common species in the tundra and taiga. We have found that the southern border of the main part of the range of P. alpinus in the European Russia coincides with the southern border of the natural...

| description | Potamogeton alpinus Balb. is a Holarctic arctoboreal aquatic plant species. In European Russia, it is a common species in the tundra and taiga. We have found that the southern border of the main part of the range of P. alpinus in the European Russia coincides with the southern border of the natural zone of mixed and broad-leaved forests. In the forest-steppe zone, there are single locations in the water bodies of large forests. In the eastern part of European Russia, the species is confined to the southern border of coniferous and mixed forests. Single locations of P. alpinus have also been recorded in lakes of the mountainous part of the Caucasus. In the north-east of European Russia, it grows on clay- and sandysilty soils of lakes, oxbow lakes, ponds and slow-flowing rivers. It can be found in puddles and quarries, on damp pastures, in depressions between hummocks, in swamps, in streams, ditches, sometimes in fast rivers of mountains with a rocky bottom. To the south, it grows mainly in small rivers and streams, as well as associated reservoirs. It is also found in karst lakes, overgrown developed peatlands. It prefers sandy or sandy-silty grounds, with a low number of biogenic elements. It has been revealed that the main factors in the reduction of the number of species are pollution of reservoirs and watercourses, changes in hydrophysical parameters of water, оvergrowing of reservoirs. It is neсessary to conserve the populations of P. alpinus on the border of the range. Only some of the P. alpinus populations in the forest-steppe are located in the protected areas of European Russia. In order to conserve, it is need to include P. alpinus to the Red Lists of Tambov, Tula, Bryansk, Kursk, Voronezh, Samara, Orel, Smolensk, Kaluga, Ryazan regions; to monitor the state of the species’ population and it habitats annually, search for new plant locations and take them under protection. Employees of environmental departments must constantly monitor the obligations of regional residents to comply with regulations of the Russian Federation in the field of environmental protection and provide measures for environmental education of the population. |
