ПИСАРЕНКО1 Abstract The paper summarizes the data of long-term bryological explorations in south-eastern part of West Siberia – in territories at the junction of the West Siberian plain and adjacent north-western part of Altai-Sayan Mountain region. The list includes 425 moss species of 49 families and 160 genera. Taxa are characterized by their occurrence in 9 phytogeographic subdivisions, as well as by the altigudinal range. Annotations and bibliography are included. Moss flora of individual regions and species distri- bution within the area are discussed. Резюме Обобщены данные многолетних бриологических исследований в юго-западной части Сибири – на территориях на стыке Западно-Сибирской равнины и Алтае-Саянской горной страны.

Recent studies have used Hg to carbon (C) ratios, RHgC, measured in 32 Alaskan permafrost mineral and peat soils, together with a northern circumpolar permafrost soil 33 carbon inventory, to estimate that these soils contain large amounts, 184 to 755 Gg of Hg in the 34 upper 1 m. However, measurements of RHgC on Siberian permafrost peatlands are largely 35 missing, leaving the size of estimated northern soil Hg budget, and its fate under Arctic warming 36 scenarios uncertain.
