Abstract

BackgroundThis study produced a dataset containing information on moss occurrences in the territory of Yugyd Va National Park, located in the Subpolar and Northern Urals, European North-East Russia. The dataset summarises occurrences noted by long-term bryological explorations in remote areas of the Subpolar and Northern Urals from 1943 to 2015 and from studies published since 1915.The dataset consists of 4,120 occurrence records. The occurrence data were extracted from herbarium specimen labels (3,833 records) and data from published literature (287 records). Most of the records (4,104) are georeferenced.A total of 302 moss taxa belonging to 112 genera and 36 families are reported herein to occur in Yugyd Va National Park. The diversity of bryophytes in this National Park has not yet been fully explored and further exploration will lead to more taxa.New informationA total of 4,120 moss occurrences records in the territory of Yugyd Va National Park were published.

Highlights

Yugyd Va National Park is the largest protected area in the Komi Republic
Yugyd Va National Park and Pechora-Ilych Nature Reserve were recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, the Virgin Komi Forests, in 1995
Collections made in the course of these studies created the background for further accounts devoted to the moss flora of the Subpolar Urals (Kildyushevskiy 1956)
