The taxonomy of higher vascular plants, lichens and fungi in the city of Abakan (Republic of Khakassia)

Abstract

The flora of vascular plants in the city of Abakan (Republic of Khakassia, Russia) is represented by 459 taxa belonging to 69 families and 325 genera. Angiosperms are predominant in the flora of higher vascular plants and are represented by 451 species (98.3% of the entire city flora), including monocotyledons (104 species, 22.7%) and dicotyledons (347 species, 75.6%). According to these indicators, the flora of this city belongs to temperate floras of the Holarctic. The presence of 24 single-species families in the Abakan flora is related to the observed poor state of environment-forming factors, which prevents the adaptation of species under the new transformed conditions of the urbanized environment. Lichens in Abakan are represented by 33 species affiliated with 18 genera and 8 families. There are 125 mushroom species belonging to 75 genera, 34 families, 6 orders, and a single class, Agaricomycetes.
