Flora of vascular plants of the Zaonezhskiy Peninsula
// Biodiversity of Fennoscandia (diversity, human impact, nature conservation). Petrozavodsk: Karelian Research Centre of RAS, 1997.
Zaonezhskiy peninsula stretches from north-west to south-east for approximately 80 km., and its width is 30-40 kms. A lot of islands called Kizhi skerries lay to the south of the Peninsula. The Peninsula is bounded by Unitskaya Gulf in the west, Povenetskiy and Zaonezhskiy Gulfs in the east, and Large Onego Lake in the south.
The studies in this area has been carried out by the following specialists in botany: A.Gunter (1867;1880), E.Bezice (1911), L.Fagerstrom & H.Luter, B.Sparre (1943;1944), O.Kuznetsov (1992).
Totally 632 species of vascular plants belonging to 322 genera and to 98 families are registered on the territory of Zaonezhskiy Peninsula. The aboriginal flora includes 531 plants' species from 259 genera and 95 families. Flora's adventive fraction composes 16% (101 species).
The ratio of the highest rank's systematic groups is the following: 36 phanerogam species (7.3%), 4 gymnospermous (0.7%), 491 angiospermous (92.5%), including 160 species (32.6%) of monocotyledonous and 331 species (67.4%) of dicotyledonous plants.
Among those there are some included into various Red Data Books. For i nstance, the Red Data Book of Russia (1988) includes Isoetes lacustris L., I. echinospora Dur., Carex livida (Wahl.) Willd., Cypripedium calceolus L., Dactylorhiza traunsteineri (Saut.) Soo, Lobelia dortmanna L., which present in the studied flora. The Red Data Book of Karelia (1995) includes 56 species, which counts approximately 25% from the list of protected plants' species in Karelia. Such a high percentage of the species contained in various Red Data Books gives a good evidence of nature-protecting measures undertaken for the studied territory.
The present study was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Science (project N 96-04-49484).
