Abstract

Abstract The first studied flora of a mountain lake on the Suntar-Khayat ridge was represented by 170 species of non-diatoms in addition to 112 previously studied diatoms. The calculated similarity indices, correlation analysis and bioindication showed the uniqueness of the non-diatom flora, dominated by charophytes in general and species of the genera Cosmarium and Closterium. The results of the study of flora suggest that the altitude and the lake location in the zone of the Arctic deserts were major factors that affected the process of formation of the unique species composition.
