Flora of Vladimir Oblast, Russia: an Updated Grid Dataset (1867–2020) Biodiversity Data Journal 9: e68046 doi: 10.3897/BDJ.9.e68046 Data Paper Flora of Vladimir Oblast, Russia: an updated grid dataset (1867–2020) Alexey P. Seregin ‡ ‡ Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia Corresponding author: Alexey P. Seregin ([email protected]) Academic editor: Ivan Chadin Received: 29 Apr 2021 | Accepted: 24 May 2021 | Published: 28 May 2021 Citation: Seregin AP (2021) Flora of Vladimir Oblast, Russia: an updated grid dataset (1867–2020). Biodiversity Data Journal 9: e68046. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.9.e68046 Abstract Background The dataset covers wild tracheophytes (native species, naturalised aliens and casuals) of Vladimir Oblast, Russia. It includes only one occurrence per species per grid square, thereby recently confirmed earlier records are not duplicated. Georeferences are based on the WGS84 grid scheme with 342 squares with areas ranging from 94.7 km2 in the northernmost part to 98.2 km2 on the southern boundary (5′ lat. × 10′ long.). Each occurrence is linked to the corresponding grid square centroid, therefore actual coordinates, habitat details and voucher information are unavailable. In late 2011, the earlier version of the dataset was used for the production of grid maps in the standard "Flora of Vladimir Oblast: checklist and atlas". Additional records, obtained during field excursions of 2012 and 2013, were fully included in the "Flora of Vladimir Oblast: grid data analysis". The stable version of the dataset with 123,054 grid records (as of 1867–2013) was published in GBIF in 2017. New information Data obtained in the field during 2014–2020, as well as those extracted from recently published sources, were digitised, structured and finally published in GBIF in April 2021. © Seregin A.

Currently, "Flora of Vladimir Oblast, Russia: an updated grid dataset (1867–2020)" contains 130,054 unique occurrences of 1,465 vascular plant taxa (species, hybrids, species aggregates) from Vladimir Oblast and tiny parts of the adjacent areas. The average number of grid records has grown over the seven years from 363 to 380 species. The grid occurrences are largely based on the field studies by the author, performed during 1999–2020 (121,737 records), as well as on data extracted from the relevant literature, unpublished sources, herbarium collections and citizen science projects (8,317 records). The taxonomic backbone of the occurrence grid dataset follows the accompanying checklist dataset to ensure correct cross-linking of the names. As of April 2021, the dataset on the Vladimir Oblast flora represents the fourth largest dataset on vascular plants of Russia published in GBIF. Keywords vascular plants, dataset, flora, Vladimir Oblast, Russia, occurrence Introduction Since 1999, the author has been working on the grid mapping of the Vladimir Oblast flora. The region covers an area of 29,074 km2 . The oblast was divided into 342 grid squares measuring 5′ lat. x 10′ long. or ca. 9.2 x 10.4 km. Thus, the area of the grid cells slightly increases southwards from 94.7 to 98.2 km2 (Fig. 1). Cyrillic letters were used to designate 21 rows from north to south, while numbers were used to indicate the squares within the rows from west to east. The northern border of the northernmost row А follows 56°50′N, while the southern border of the southernmost row Х follows 55°05′N, the western border of the squares Г1 and Д0 follows 38°10′E, while the eastern border of the square З28 follows 43°00′E. The grid is available as a supplementary *.kml file (Suppl. material 1) with a copy on Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4724913). The grid is visualised on Google Maps at https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=200284766630468455543.00 0462414ec0fd70a9c6f&msa=0 Every year, data obtained by the author in the field were imported into the distribution database on the Vladimir Oblast flora (MS Excel spreadsheet). The earlier version of the database supplemented by all available records from the literature and herbarium collections was used to produce maps for the standard "Flora of Vladimir Oblast: checklist and atlas" (Seregin 2012). At the time of map production for the flora in November 2011, the database contained 118,231 records. In 2012–2013, the author continued the grid mapping of the Vladimir Oblast flora. By the end of 2013, the regional flora included 1,399 species of vascular plants (Seregin 2014). The stable version of the dataset with 123,054 grid records (as of 1867–2013) was published in GBIF in November 2017 (Seregin 2021b). Flora of Vladimir Oblast, Russia: an updated grid dataset (1867–2020) 3 Figure 1. The grid scheme with 342 squares currently used for the floristic surveillance of Vladimir Oblast, Russia (5′ lat. x 10′ long.). There were 335 grid squares in the initial scheme (white squares). Subsequently, Seregin (2012) added Л0 and C0, whereas Seregin (2014) added A0 and Д0. In 2018, three grid squares (Б0, Л25 and М22) were included for the better curation of some small areas of Vladimir Oblast outside the regular grid. The squares added during 2011–2018 are shown here in grey. In line with the call for data papers describing datasets from Russia by GBIF, we completely revised the dataset and made the following improvements and ammendments: 1. Field data obtained by the author during 2014–2020 and new data published recently in various references were fully integrated into the dataset. New field data were obtained by the author during 77 standard one-day grid square surveys, as well as dozens of occasional field excursions focused on specific plant habitats, communities or species. 2. This update added 7,000 new grid records into the dataset, including records of 26 new species. For at least 11,190 grid records, the date of the last record was updated to show current presence of the species. 3. Three new grid squares were added on the fringes of Vladimir Oblast. The average number of grid records increased within seven years from 363 to 380 species (Table 1). 4. The taxonomic backbone of this occurrence dataset follows Seregin (2014), available in GBIF as a checklist dataset (Seregin 2021c) to ensure correct cross- linking of the names. 5. An aggregation of the records by standard grid square surveys was performed using the "eventID" field of the DarwinCore. 4 Seregin A Table 1. The growth of the dataset during 2011–2020. The earlier version of the dataset with 118,231 grid records (as of late 2011) was used for the map production in the standard flora (Seregin 2012). End of the year Number of records Number of grid squares Average number of records per grid square 2011 118,231 337 350.8 2012 120,854 337 358.6 2013 123,049 339 363.0 2014 124,100 339 366.1 2015 126,682 339 373.7 2016 127,245 339 375.4 2017 127,415 339 375.9 2018 128,966 342 377.1 2020 130,073 342 380.3 We amended the dataset on 29 Apr 2021 after a thorough data audit, performed by Dr Robert Mesibov (https://www.datafix.com.au) in line with preparation of the data paper. As of 19 April 2021, the Vladimir Oblast occurrence dataset on the flora makes the seventh largest dataset on biodiversity of Russia published in GBIF (Table 2) and the fourth largest for vascular plants after Ueda (2021), Seregin (2021a) and Artemov and Egorova (2021). This is the only complete grid dataset for the first-level administrative divisions across Russia, although there are at least three GBIF-mediated datasets based on grid surveys of specific second-level administrative units in Tver, Saratov and Yaroslavl Oblasts of European Russia (Abramova and Volkova 2018, Frontova 2019, Pashkina 2019).

Received: 14 December 2018; Accepted: 24 January 2019; Published: 29 January 2019 Abstract: The uplift of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) had a profound impact on the plant speciation rate and genetic diversity. High genetic diversity ensures that species can survive and adapt in the face of geographical and environmental changes. The Tanggula Mountains, located in the central of the QTP, have unique geographical significance. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the Tanggula Mountains as a geographical barrier on plant genetic diversity and structure by using Lancea tibetica. A total of 456 individuals from 31 populations were analyzed using eight pairs of microsatellite makers. The total number of alleles was 55 and the number per locus ranged from 3 to 11 with an average of 6.875. The polymorphism information content (PIC) values ranged from 0.2693 to 0.7761 with an average of 0.4378 indicating that the eight microsatellite makers were efficient for distinguishing genotypes.

  • Abies Concolor (White Fir)
    Compiled here is distribution, characteristics and other information on host species featured as ‘Host of the Month’ in past issues of the COMTF Monthly Report. Abies concolor (white fir) This is an evergreen tree native to the mountains of southern Oregon, California, the southern Rocky Mountains, and Baja California. Large and symmetrical, white fir grows 80 – 120ft tall and 15 – 20ft wide in its native range and in the Pacific Northwest. White fir is one of the top timber species found in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of CA and is a popular Christmas tree, as well as one of the most commonly grown native firs in Western gardens. Young trees are conical in shape, but develop a dome-like crown with age. The flattened needles of white fir are silvery blue-green, blunt at the tip , and grow 2 – 3in long. Often curving upwards, the needles extend at right angles from the twig, and twigs produce a citrus smell when needles are broken. White fir is monoecious, producing yellow- to red-toned, catkin-like male flowers and inconspicuous yellow-brown female flowers. The oblong cones grow 3 – 5 in upright, are yellow-green to purple in color, and are deciduous at maturity, dispersing seed in the fall. New twigs are dark- orange, but become gray-green, then gray with maturity. The bark of saplings is thin, smooth, and gray, turning thick, ash-gray with age, and developing deep irregular furrows. P. ramorum- infected Abies concolor (white fir) was first reported in the October 2005 COMTF newsletter as having been found at a Christmas tree farm in the quarantined county of Santa Clara.

  • Russian Government Continues to Support Cattle Sector
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Voluntary - Public Date: 6/17/2013 GAIN Report Number: RS1335 Russian Federation Post: Moscow Russian Government Continues to Support Cattle Sector Report Categories: Livestock and Products Policy and Program Announcements Agricultural Situation Approved By: Holly Higgins Prepared By: FAS/Moscow Staff Report Highlights: Russia’s live animal imports have soared in recent years, as the Federal Government has supported the rebuilding of the beef and cattle sector in Russia. This sector had been in continual decline since the break-up of the Soviet Union, but imports of breeding stock have resulted in a number of modern ranches. The Russian Federal and oblast governments offer a series of support programs meant to stimulate livestock development in the Russian Federation over the next seven years which are funded at hundreds of billions of Russian rubles (almost $10 billion). These programs are expected to lead to a recovery of the cattle industry. Monies have been allocated for both new construction and modernization of old livestock farms, purchase of domestic and imported of high quality breeding dairy and beef cattle, semen and embryos; all of which should have a direct and favorable impact on livestock genetic exports to Russia through 2020. General Information: Trade Russia’s live animal imports have soared in recent years, as the Federal Government has supported the rebuilding of the beef and cattle sector in Russia. This sector has been in decline since the break-up of the Soviet Union, but imports of breeding stock have resulted in a number of modern ranches which are expected to lead to a recovery of the cattle industry.

    How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps. If you are looking for a certain part of Russia Find the appropriate index map. These show the borders of the detailed maps for different parts of the country.

Trifonova1, Natalia V. Mishchenko2,*, Pavel S. Shutov2 1 Department of Soil Science, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russian Federation 2 Institute of Biology and Ecology, Vladimir State University, Vladimir, Russian Federation * [email protected] (recibido/received: 15-febrero-2021; aceptado/accepted: 05-abril-2021) ABSTRACT The article addresses the dynamics of biological processes in various landscapes within a holistic natural geosystem—a catchment area. The Klyazma river (the fourth order tributary to the Volga) was selected as the object of study. The natural complex of the Klyazma river basin is a combination of different landscapes, each marked by a diverse composition of geomorphological and soil-vegetation structures. The study is based on remote sensing data and the Trends.Earth Land Degradation Monitoring Project (Land Cover Dataset, European Space Agency 2015, 300 m spatial resolution) implemented using the open-source Quantum GIS 2.18. Four landscape provinces and eight site were identified in the studied catchment area according to the geomorphological structure and the soil and vegetation cover. The ecosystem parameters Gross Primary Productivity, Net Primary Productivity, and Ecosystem Respiration were measured in the identified sites.

    Advances in Engineering Research, volume 177 International Symposium on Engineering and Earth Sciences (ISEES 2018) Basin Approach in Geomorphological Studies of Klyazma River Basin Structure Roman Vladimirovich Repkin Alla Valeryevna Lyubesheva Vladimir State University, Vladimir State University, Department of Biology and Ecology, Department of Biology and Ecology, Vladimir, Vladimir Region, Russia Vladimir, Vladimir Region, Russia [email protected] [email protected] Ekaterina Lvovna Pronina Vladimir State University, Department of Biology and Ecology, Vladimir, Vladimir Region, Russia [email protected] Abstract – This work is devoted to geomorphological studies of Т.А. also developed a basin approach for the functioning of the structures of the Klyazma River basin and factors of modern small river basins for mountain areas and for lowland rivers [7, exogenous morphogenesis in the river basin and its morphological 9]. A wide and detailed description of the Klyazma River basin parts. The landscapes of the basins of small rivers have been and its tributaries is being conducted at the Department of experiencing anthropogenic load for a long time, so the processes Biology and Ecology of the VlSU under the direction of Dr. of relief formation have their own specifics. To create a geomorphological model of the transformation of landscapes of T.A. Trifonova. the Klyazma River river basin with the aim of ecological forecasting and monitoring, the data were obtained on the II. METHODS AND MATERIALS dynamics of exogenous processes, among which the most common are: karst, hydromorphism, gully and lateral erosion, landslide With the use of remote, statistical, mathematical methods formation. and GIS technologies, the selection of sites for the imposition of geomorphological profiles was carried out on the basis of Keywords – component; formatting; style; styling; insert analysis of space images of different resolution and analysis of the conjugated data of the studies.
