“…This paper continues a study of the spatial patterning of the Sphagnum species distribution by climatic factors in the East European Plain. The previous paper dealt with the species of the section Sphagnum (Popov, 2016), while the present one addresses to the section Acutifolia. The study territory is somewhat expanded here so to cover the territory of Finland (Fig.…”

Distribution of 11 species of Sphagnum from section Acutifolia in the East European Plain and Eastern Fennoscandia (EEPEF) is analysed. Area of each species was compiled using geostatistics methods. Within the range of each species, the abundance zones determined on a six-point scale are shown. Patterns of species distribution, depending on changes in climatic factors, were revealed with using the methods of multivariative analysis. A map of species richness for the studied territory is drawn up and regularities of changes in the number of growing species are determined, in connection with the change in climatic parameters. Eleven species of the section Acutifolia are divided in two groups by their distribution pattern. First group contains such species as S. girgensohnii, S. russowii, S. capillifolium, S. warnstorfii, S. fuscum, S. rubellum, and S. fimbriatum, widespread in EEPEF. They grow in all vegetation zones (except desert and semidesert zones) and have maximal abundance in the west of the territory, in boreal and hemiboreal zones. Second group includes S. quinquefarium, S. subnitens, S. subfulvum, and S. molle, the rarest species in EEPEF. These species are distributed in boreal and hemiboreal zones only around the Baltic Sea and have low abundance elsewhere. High moisture is nessesary for high species abundance. For the group of widespread species, values of precipitation amount must be not less than 600 mm per year and relative humidity-not less than 60% durining growing season through the zones of climatic optimum. In the zones of climatic pessimum it might be various, but not less than 450 mm and 50% respectively. For the group of rare species, annual precipitation must be not less then 600 mm and relative humidity during growing season-not less 70% through the whole range. In addition to the climatic factors, distribution of rare species is probably associated with areas of maximal distribution of peatlands and presence of glacial forms of relief within the zone of maximal spread of the Last Glaciation. In these regions maximal species diversity is also observed. Резюме Проведено исследование распространения 11 видов сфагновых мхов из секции Acutifolia на территории Восточно-Европейской равнины и Восточной Фенноскандии (ВЕРВФ). Составлены ареалы всех видов с применением методов геостатистики. В пределах ареала каждого вида показаны зоны встречаемости, определенные по шестибалльной шкале. Посредством методов многомерного анализа выявлены закономерности распространения видов в зависимости от изменения климатических факторов. Составлена карта видового богатства для изученной территории и определены закономерности изменения количества произрастающих видов в связи с изменением климатических показателей. По характеру рисунка ареалов 11 видов из секции Acutifolia можно разбить на две большие группы. Первая-это обычные на территории ВЕРВФ виды. С разным обилием они распространены повсеместно от зоны лесостепи до тундры. Зоны их максимального обилия приходятся на регионы с наибольшим количеством осадков, кото...

“…The general patterns of the spatial variation of climatic fac tors in the study area were set out by us earlier (Popov 2016). In brief, they consist in the fact that the western re gions during the growing season are cha rac terized by a much greater amount of precipitation than the central and eas tern ones, which is due to the patterns of move ment of At lan tic cyclones from west to east.…”

Distribution pattern of seven Polytrichum species in the East European Plain and Eastern Fennoscandia

Distribution of seven species of the genus Polytrichum (P. commune, P. hyperboreum, P. jensenii, P. juniperinum, P. piliferum, P. strictum and P. swartzii) on the territory of the East European Plain and Eastern Fennoscandia (EEPEF) was studied. For each species, model maps of distribution ranges were constructed and the causes that determine the pattern of species are considered. Distribution of most species correlates to a high degree with spatial changes in the amount of precipitation, relative humidity and monthly temperature averages during the vegetative season. However, P. piliferum is an exception to this rule, as its distribution is influenced not only by climate, but also by location of fluvioglacial deposits on the territory of EEPEF. Distribution range of P. hyperboreum and P. jensenii is mainly limited by Subarctic region (Tundra and Forest-Tundra), and this range looks diminishing.

“…Some dots have been chosen outside the area of interest (e.g. Romania, Poland, Kazakhstan, Caucasus, the eastern mountainside of the Urals) to correct possible errors of extrapolation at the area boundaries (Demyanov & Savelyeva, 2010;Popov, 2016). We applied the basic principles of area modelling, using geostatistics methods and analysing the distribution range of the moss species by using the kriging method published previously (Popov, 2017).…”

Ptilium crista-castrensis is one of the most common moss species in the forest zone. It is dominant in the moss layer of the blueberry and cowberry forests. At least with low abundance, it occurs almost in every forest type and mires. In addition, it is a component of the moss layer in tundra. We compiled the published annotated lists of regional bryophyte floras into a generalised dataset. We then created a map of the P. crista-castrensis model range using the kriging method. We included data from 179 locations, with data points in 39 Protected Areas. We determined climatic preferences of the species by comparing the species occurrence and climatic factors on locations. The comparison of the created model map with the map of vegetation zones allowed us to analyse the spatial distribution of P. crista-castrensis. We could demonstrate a sharp decrease of P. crista-castrensis abundance at the borders of the forest and steppe zones. By the range boundaries, this moss is a rarely occurring species, where it grows exclusively in limited pine forest patches. This species is completely lacking in the steppe zone. Its abundance has maximal values in the northern taiga subzone considered as the climatic optimum of P. crista-castrensis. In the forest zone, the occurrence of P. crista-castrensis varies from sporadically to commonly. At the northern and southern borders of the forest zone, the species occurrence is characterised as rare. A too low average temperature and precipitation are unfavourable for P. crista-castrensis in the north of the study area. At the same time, a too high temperature and too low precipitation and humidity have the same effect in the south of the study area.
