Flora of vascular plants of the Lower Sula National Nature Park

Study Extent

During this project, the author organized research and documented the presence of species in the areas identified by the project in the priority regions.

Sampling

The materials were collected by the methods of inventory and identification of species in the field conditions (detailed by route, scoping of geobotanical descriptions on key plots near natural boundaries of phytocenoses). The species list is shown randomly, but in chronological order. Species are named according to S.L. Mosyakin and M.M. Fedoronchuk [2]. The indication of species' higher taxonomic ranks has been carried out pragmatically following the classification of flowering plants [1]. 1. Мосякін С.Л.

The dataset consists of records of vascular plants made on the territory of the Lower Sula National Nature Park within Cherkasy and Poltava administrative regions of Ukraine. These territories include areas along the valley of Sula River and its tributaries within the Lubenskyj (former Orzhitskyj) district, as well as the steppe territory in the vicinities of the village of Maloseletske that is called "Zalizna Baba" gulch.
