Abstract
Analytical review of scientific contribution of Professor Malyshev is performed and presented on the floristic research of Siberia and other territories (Ural Mountains, Mongolia, Russian Far East, etc.). It was shown, that there were several stages in these researches: from Eastern Sayan to Stanovoy Uplands, Putorana Plateau, and then Central (Baikalian Siberia and Dahuria) Siberia, Siberia in whole, and joined flora of Siberia and Russian Far East, usung different methodical approaches (method of concrete flora of A.I. Tolmachev adopted to mountain regions, and various techniques of multivariate statistics, such as rank correlations for familiesspecies, families-genera, and genera-species in head parts of taxonomic spectra, usually consists of 10 to 20 taxa (families or genera). To solve some florogenetic issues, the concept of floristic complexes as stable groups of species located in a certain belt of mountains (for example, alpine and mountain-steppe) was proposed and applied. At all stages of floristic research, the task was set to maximally identify the species composition on territories of various sizes for subsequent subdivision, with the identification of the boundaries for floristic regions, subregions, provinces and sub-provinces. The local floras and working floristic districts were taken as the basic elements of such division.
Highlights
The cognition of the contribution of scientific leaders is extremely important for father development in any direction of research, insofar as the original way of an approximation to the true knowledge
We need to solve a number of specific tasks, including: determine the suitability of the quantitative methods used in these publications as an effective tool for generating new knowledge; to establish the prospects for the simultaneous use of several methods of analysis; to assess the applicability of quantitative methods for solving taxonomic insights within polymorphic boreal genera
Malyshev for a quantitative analysis of regional floras, we performed an analysis of the scientific results of the study of the flora of the Putorana Plateau (Northern Siberia) [8]
Summary
The cognition of the contribution of scientific leaders is extremely important for father development in any direction of research, insofar as the original way of an approximation to the true knowledge. In this aspect, the understanding of scientific inputs of Professor Leonid Ivanovich Malyshev (1931–2014) has of great importance in the progress of floristic and taxonomical researches, especially of vascular plants in Siberia and adjacent territories. The purpose of this study was a comparative analysis of materials and methods, as well as the most significant publications of L.I. Malyshev, to highlight the main scientific results. We need to solve a number of specific tasks, including: determine the suitability of the quantitative methods used in these publications as an effective tool for generating new knowledge; to establish the prospects for the simultaneous use of several methods of analysis; to assess the applicability of quantitative methods for solving taxonomic insights within polymorphic boreal genera
