Tsitsin Main Botanical Garden of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia 4Museum of Nature and Man, Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia Corresponding author: E. D. Lapshina, [email protected] Abstract. Result of an extensive moss study of earlier nearly unexplored areas of the northeast- ern part of the Subpolar Urals, namely Khulga River Basin is presented. An annotated list of moss- es is compiled based on the identification of 1200 specimens collected in the Khulga River Basin (60.45–65.20°N, 60.42–62.20°E). The river starts at the border between the Polar and Subpolar Urals and flows down southwards along the eastern slope of the Ural Mountains to the confluence with the Severnaya Sosva River near the village Saranpaul (Berezovo District, Khanty-Mansi Au- tonomous Area — Yugra). The list includes 210 moss species, of which 56 species are new to the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area — Yugra. Five species are new to the Urals: Didymodon perobtusus, Lewinskya iwatsukii, Schistidium frisvollianum, Sphagnum mirum, Warnstorfia tundrae. Further 9 spe- cies were found in the Subpolar Urals for the first time: Dicranum bardunovii, D. laevidens, D. schljak- ovii, Encalypta pilifera, Flexitrichum gracile, Grimmia elatior, G. tergestina, Orthotrichum hyperboreum, Sphagnum annulatum. The data on occurrence of many moss species, which were previously known from single finds in the mountainous part of the area, is significantly expanded. Ecology, phytoceno- tic preference and distribution of the recorded species are discussed. Keywords: bryoflora, biogeography, ecology, distribution, phytocenology, Subpolar Urals, Russia.

The Subpolar Urals is the widest and most elevated part of the Ural Mountains, about 300 km in length from the headwaters of the Khulga River, from 65°40'N in the north up to 64°N in the south, including the foothill plains adjacent from the east and west (Gorchakovskiy, 1975). The first list of mosses of the Subpolar Urals was compiled by I. D. Kildyushevsky (1956). It includes 233 species with references to earlier published records by Pohle (1915), Ivanovskiy (1917), Gorodkov (1932), and Sochava (1930). Later, this list was supplemented by A. P. Dyachenko (1995) according to the literature data mainly on species identified during studies of the vegetation of the Subpolar Urals (Gorchakovs- kiy, 1955, 1958; Kuvaev, 1970, 1980; Nepomilueva et al., 1976; Nepomilueva, 1978). Thus, the total number of moss species known for the Subpolar Urals and adjacent plains was increased to 265. Though mosses of the Subpolar Urals were studied for nearly a century, knowledge on the moss species diversity, their habitats, frequency, and distribution patterns in the study area remains insufficient. Most of the former investigations of the Subpolar Urals directed at lowland plains and hilly foothills mainly in the southern and western parts of the territory, whereas data on mosses of the northeastern part of the Subpolar Urals in the Khul- ga River Basin are extremely poor. There was only one publication by B. N. Go- rodkov (1932) on the Polar Urals with a list of mosses, of which 59 species were collected in the upper reaches of the Khulga River at the northern boundary of the Subpolar Urals. In 2013–2015 we conducted studies of mosses and liverworts on the eastern slope of Subpolar Urals in the area of Mount Ner-Oika (1645 m) and 10 km to the south at the headwaters of the Puyva River (64°30'–64°33'N, 59°35'–59°38'E). The list of liverworts and partial data on mosses was published earlier (Konstantinova, Lapshi- na, 2014, 2017; Lapshina et al., 2015, 2016; Skuchas, Lapshina, 2018). The Khulga River Basin is located in the northeastern part of the Subpolar Urals, at a distance of about 120 km from the previously surveyed sites. The goal of this paper is to present a contribution on the moss flora of this nearly unexplored territory of the Polar and Subpolar Urals. 212 Новости систематики низших растений — Novosti sistematiki nizshikh rastenii 54(1): 211–241. 2020 Study area The Khulga River (the old name: Lyapin) starts to the south of the Polar Circle on the border between the Polar and Subpolar Urals and flows down along the eastern slope of the Ural Mountains to the south to its confluence with the Severnaya Sosva River (a left tributary of the Ob River) near the village Saranpaul. Administratively, the basin of the Khulga River occupies the extreme northwestern part of the Beloyarsk District and the entire Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area. It is located between the mountain ranges of the northern part of the Subpolar Urals and the boggy areas of the West Siberian Plain within the Northern Taiga subzone. On mountain tops, tundra vegetation and forest-tundra open woodland extend far to the south. Thereby three main mountain vegetation belts are presented in the study area: forest belt (up to 350–400 m), forest-tundra belt (450–500 m), dominated by Sibe- rian pine (Pinus sibirica) and birch (Betula pubescens) open woodlands with an admix- ture of larch (Larix sibirica), alternating with thickets of alder (Duschekia fruticosa) and dwarf birch (Betula nana) communities — “yerniks”, and a mountain tundra belt, represented on the highest peaks up to 600–750 m (names of vascular plants follow Cherepanov, 1995). The study area is located at the southern boundary of the distribution of local per- mafrost with active current thermokarst processes. Most of the territory at the Middle and Lower Khulga River is plain or in some places gently undulating plain with absolute elevations of 40–90 m a. s. l. The Khulga River bed is stony, 60–80 m wide with 4–6 m deep pits and flat shal- lows. At a low water level, numerous islands and silty-stony shallows occur. The river valley is from several hundred meters to 3–4 km wide, the well-drained sites occupied by river valley forests are alternated with wet lowlands. Flat terraces are covered with transitional fens and raised bogs, as well as open woodland on shallow peat with the stunted tree layer of spruce (Picea obovata) and Siberian pine (Pinus sibirica). In plac- es where river valley is getting narrow the slopes of hill and ridges covered by moun- tainous northern taiga forests and open woodlands approach the river. The proximity of mountain ranges, composed of metamorphic and intrusive rocks with close occurrence and frequent outcrops of carbonate rocks, results in a variety of rocky substrates and nutrient-rich groundwaters, which provide a wide variety of types of peatlands and mire vegetation. The vegetation of the Khulga River Basin is formed by flood plain and mountain forests, boggy open woodlands, and raised bogs, transitional and minerotrophic fens, thickets of subalpine shrubs (yerniks, willow shrubs), mountain tundras, plant com- munities on stony substrates, including carbonate rocks, vegetation of silty-gravelly riverbanks and coastal outcrops. Material and methods The moss specimens were collected during the geobotanical survey of the main veg- etation types. Special attention was paid to rocky and stony outcrops, coasts of rivers 213 Lapshina et al. The mosses of the Khulga River Basin (Subpolar Urals) and lakes. Well recognizable species were collected from a few sites only, whereas in other cases they were only noted in the relevés. A total of 194 sites were surveyed, for which 178 geobotanical relevés were made, the full list of bryophyte species being identified. For the rest of the sites, such as the banks of rivers, streams, rocky outcrops, moss specimens were collected without vege- tation relevés. On the map all collecting sites were combined into 30 localities within 4 key areas (Fig. 1). I — Upper reaches of Khulga River near mouth of Tykotlova River (right tributary of Khulga River). Valley of Khulga River: 1 — right bank, 2 km below mouth of Tykotlova River, 65.252°N, 62.170°–62.177°E, 61 m above sea level; 2 — opposite the mouth of Tykotlova River, 65.253°– 65.269°N, 62.177°–62.184°E, 61 m a.

  • Divergence in Seasonal Hydrology Across Northern Eurasia: Emerging Trends and Water Cycle Linkages M
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 114, D18119, doi:10.1029/2009JD011747, 2009 Click Here for Full Article Divergence in seasonal hydrology across northern Eurasia: Emerging trends and water cycle linkages M. A. Rawlins,1 H. Ye,2 D. Yang,3 A. Shiklomanov,4 and K. C. McDonald1 Received 13 January 2009; revised 16 June 2009; accepted 19 June 2009; published 24 September 2009. [1] Discharge from large Eurasia rivers increased during the 20th century, yet much remains unknown regarding details of this increasing freshwater flux. Here, for the three largest Eurasian basins (the Ob, Yenisei, and Lena) we examine the nature of annual and seasonal discharge trends by investigating the flow changes along with those for precipitation, snow depth, and snow water equivalent. On the basis of a multiperiod trend analysis and examination of station data, we propose two characteristic regimes to explain the long-term discharge increase from these large Eurasian rivers. Over the early decades from approximately 1936 to 1965, annual precipitation correlates well with annual discharge, and positive discharge trends are concurrent with summer/fall discharge increases. The latter decades were marked by a divergence between winter/ spring flows, which increased, amid summer/fall discharge declines. A comparison of cold season precipitation (CSP) and spring discharge trends across subbasins of the Ob, Yenisei, and Lena shows limited agreement with one precipitation data set but good agreement (R2 > 0.90) when a second is used. While natural variability in the Arctic system tends to mask these emerging trends, spatial and temporal changes can generally be characterized by increased solid precipitation, primarily to the north, along with a drier hydrography during the warm season.

Siles. Sci. Natur., 68: 11-24, 2019. Abstract: A new bryophyte checklist for Afghanistan is presented, including all published records since the beginning of collection activities in 1839 ‒1840 by W. Griffith till present. Considering several unidentified collections in various herbaria, 23 new records for Afghanistan together with the collection data can be added to the flora. Beside a new genus, Asterella , the new records include Amblystegium serpens var. serpens, Brachythecium erythrorrhizon, Bryum dichotomum, B. elwendicum, B. pallens, B. weigelii, Dichodontium palustre, Didymodon luridus, D. tectorum, Distichium inclinatum, Entosthodon muhlenbergii, Hygroamblystegium fluviatile subsp. fluviatile, Oncophorus virens, Orthotrichum rupestre var. sturmii, Pogonatum urnigerum, Pseudocrossidium revolutum, Pterygoneurum ovatum, Schistidium rivulare, Syntrichia handelii, Tortella inflexa, T. tortuosa, and Tortula muralis subsp. obtusifolia . Therewith the number of species increase to 24 liverworts, 246 mosses and one hornwort. In addition, a historical overview of the country's exploration and a full biogeography of Afghan bryophytes is given. Key words: Bryophytes, checklist, flora, phytodiversity. Introduction Recording, documentation, identification and classification of organisms is a primary tool and essential step in plant sciences and ecology to obtain detailed knowledge on the flora of a country. In many countries, such as Afghanistan, however, our knowledge on plant diversity, function, interactions of species and number of species in ecosystems is very limited and far from being complete.

The number of bryophyte taxa in these regions is 140 (119 mosses and 21 liverworts) with the lists cited in this paper. The hepatic list includes 15 genera and also mosses 55 genera. The largest genera of liverworts and mosses were found to be Scapania with four taxa and Sphagnum is with 13. Racomitrium heterostichum, R. macounii, Ditrichum pusillum, and Hymenoloma crispulum were the most common moss species. Two liverworts, Aneura pinguis and Scapania undulata were noted as the most common. When the altitudinal data were analyzed, it was seen that 2300 m. is the most survey area of intensive collecting. Upper limits of the taxa are observed at 3060 and 3065 m. Bryophyte records above 3000 m were not very rich according to the available information. The study provides an updated and useful catalog of the bryophytes occurring above forest boundary of Rize. Keywords: Mosses, liverworts, subalpine, alpine, Rize, Turkey 1.

Borodin* Institute of Plant and Animal Ecology, Ural Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, Yekaterinburg, 620144 Russia *e-mail: [email protected] Received March 3, 2016; in final form, April 19, 2016 AbstractThe genetic variability of burbot (Lota lota L., 1758) inhabiting the Ob-Irtysh and Taz river basins in Western Siberia has been studied based on the polymorphism of the hypervariable fragment of mtDNA control region (407 bp). The analysis of 134 fish samples revealed 30 haplotypes, 23 of which were new. Among haplotypes, previously detected in Eurasia and North America, EB30 was the most frequently found in Western Siberia (45.5% frequency). The results of our study are in agreement with previous research point- ing to the genetic differentiation of two burbot subspecies, L. l. lota and L. l. maculosa, and indicate that bur- bot inhabiting the Ob-Irtysh and Taz river basins belong to the Eurasian-Beringian clade (nominative sub- species L. l. lota). However, a high genetic diversity of burbot in Western Siberia, along with a relatively high differentiation of burbot groups within studied territory, points to a regional specificity of burbot population.

  • 1 Background: the Khanty
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-10321-4 — The World of the Khanty Epic Hero-Princes Arthur Hatto Excerpt More Information 1 Background: The Khanty Khanty belong to the Ugrian branch of the Uralic peoples.1 The name Khanty (xαnti) goes back to the word for ‘clan, kindred, community’ in the Uralic proto-language; its cognates are Finnish kunta (as in kansakunta ‘nation’) and Hungarian had ‘army, war’ (‘kinship’ in Old Hungarian). The name Ostyak for the people and their language was used by Russians officially until 1930, when Khanty, the name the people use for themselves, became official. Until the late twentieth century the term Ostyak, despite its derogatory character in Siberia, remained in common use in the West. Territory and Population Although small in population, Khanty have their settlements and villages dispersed over a large area. Khanty live east of the Ural Mountains in Western Siberia in Russia, along the lower and middle regions of the Ob River and along its tributaries. These include, to the right of the Ob, the Polui, the Kunovat, the Kazym, the Nazym, the Lyamin, the Pim, the Tromyegan, the Agan and the Vakh; and to the left of the Ob, the Shchu- chya, the Synya, the Severnaya Sosva (called Sosva in the epics), the Irtysh (and its tributaries, the Demyanka and the Konda), the Bolshoy Salym, the Bolshoy Yugan and the Vasyugan. This territory, extending from the Urals in the west to the basin of the Ob in the east, has the historical name Yugra, a term for the Ugrian homeland and peoples that first appeared in medieval Arabic and Russian sources.
