Vegetation releves of rich fens of Malaya Sosva Nature Reserve

Citation

Lapshina E, Ganasevich G, Vasina A, Filippova N (2024). Vegetation releves of rich fens of Malaya Sosva Nature Reserve. Version 1.7. Malaya Sosva State Nature Reserve. Sampling event dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/hpjiw9 accessed via GBIF.org on 2025-06-14.

Description

The dataset includes 71 vegetation relevés made during a geobotanical survey of rich fens in the southern part of the nature reserve "Malaya Sosva". On the basis of the ecological-floral approach of the J. Brown-Blanke school, 8 associations, 6 subassociations and 3 communities from 5 unions, 3 orders and 3 classes of vegetation were allocated in the vegetation cover of these rich fens. The analysis of vegetation and species composition provided in the related publication (Lapshina et al., 2018).

Purpose

The dataset was created as an electronic attachment to the paper (Lapshina et al., 2018, https://journals.eco-vector.com/EDGCC/article/view/9020) and includes geobotanical descriptions which were analyzed in this publication.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Field studies were conducted in July 2016 in the southern part of the Nature Reserve. 5 fen areas with a total area of about 2.5 thousand hectares were surveyed, on which 72 complete geobotanical descriptions were performed and about 500 samples of bryophytes were collected.

Sampling

The project involved standard protocols of a floristic and geobotanical study including herbarium collection, and description of vegetation using ecological-floral approach of the J. Brown-Blanke school.

Method steps

  1. The routes were planned in all main elements of the vegetation structure of the fen areas using Landsat 8 satellite images with a resolution of 15 m.
  2. The descriptions were carried out within homogeneous contours, encompassing, as far as possible, the diversity of plant communities within the contour on the satellite image.
  3. The geographical coordinates of the descriptions were determined using GPS.
  4. The area of ​​descriptions ranged from 25 m^2 in homogeneous grass and moss-grass communities to 100 m^2 in fen communities with a well-marked tree layer.
  5. At each site, a complete list of species of higher vascular plants, mosses and liverworts was revealed, indicating the projective cover in percent (%).
  6. All species of bryophytes and liverworts were collected in the herbarium for further indentification in the laboratory.
  7. The latin names for vascular plants are given according to C.K. Cherepanov [1995], mosses - according to M.S. Ignatov et al. [Ignatov et al., 2006], liverworts - according to N.A. Konstantinova et al. [Konstantinova et al., 2009].
  8. For details on methods see also in related publication (Lapshina et al., 2018).

Taxonomic Coverages

179 species have been identified, including 84 species of higher vascular plants, 69 species of mosses and 26 species of liverworts.
  1. Tracheophytes
    common name: Vascular plants rank: phylum
  2. Bryophyta
    common name: Mosses rank: phylum
  3. Marchantiophyta
    common name: Liverworts rank: phylum

Geographic Coverages

A geobotanical survey of rich fens was made on the left-bank terraces of the Em-Egan River, the right tributary of the Malaya Sosva River in the southern part of the nature reserve Malaya Sosva.
