Floristic Diversity and its Geographical Background in Central Siberia

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Permafrost Ecosystems

Part of the book series: Ecological Studies ((ECOLSTUD,volume 209))

Abstract

Floristic diversity has been investigated in different latitudinal zones of Central Siberia. The area of focus in the present analysis stretches about 2,900 km from Karskoe Sea, at 77°41′N latitude, to the southern Russian state border, at 49°45′N. In terms of longitude, the area stretches approximately 2,075 km from the Yenisey River, at 82°E, to the Lena River, at 130°E. Total area makes up about 4.24 million km2.
