Abstract

The information about the distribution of 28 rare and endangered species of vascular plants under Federal and regional security, registered in 2018 on the territory of the Volgograd oblast under the Federal and regional security is given. Among them, 2 species (Crambe tataria Sebeok и Stipa zalesskii Wilensky ex P. A. Smirn.) are included in the List of Threatened plant species of Europe. Each location is linked to the grid of Atlas Flora Europaea. The obtained materials about the distribution of rare and endangered species of vascular plants represent an important data for long-term monitoring and also for environmental management measures at the regional level.

Small area in the North-West belongs to the forest-steppe zone. This region has high, unique for lowlands vascular plant diversity: more than 2970 species were registered there [1]. In this regard, information on the distribution of rare and threatened with extinction species is valuable from a scientific and environmental point of view. The present work provides new information, specifying the distribution of some vascular plants under the protection at the regional and Federal levels
