Abstract
The flora of the protected area «Ice Mountain and Kungur Ice Cave» was studied. The protected area is located in the Kungur forest-steppe of the Perm Krai. A list of plant species has been compiled, indicating specific biotopes for each species, as well as sources of information. On the protected area, there are 308 species of vascular plants belonging to 190 genera and 58 families. The presence of three species included in the Red Book of the Perm Krai has been confirmed – Cephalanthera rubra (III category of rarity) and Stipa pennata (III category of rarity) and Anemone uralensis (II category of rarity). Rare species are found in the protected area: Helianthemum nummularium, Polygala sibirica, Epipactis atrorubens, E. helleborine, Helictotrichon schellianum, Quercus robur, Astragalus sulcatus, Aster alpinus. Synanthropic and invasive species are found in protected area: Acer negundo, Amelanchier spicata, Heracleum sosnowskyi, Caragana arborescens, Lupinus polyphyllus, Echinocystis lobata, Hippophae rhamnoides. Synanthropic and invasive species pose a serious threat to the existence of unique forest-steppe communities and protected and rare plants of the Ice Mountain and Kungur Ice Cave protected area.
