Section: Monitoring of natural and anthropogenically disturbed areas
The importance of the “Koigorodskiy” National Park (Komi Republic) for conservation of protected plants and fungi key habitats is demonstrated for the first time. By now, we registered here 367 occurrences of 32 rare species of plants and fungi, included in the Red Data Book of the Komi Republic. Among them, 11 taxons of plants (7 species of vascular plants and 4 species of bryophytes), and 21 taxons of fungi (9 species of fungi, 11 species of lichens and 1 species of lichenicolous fungi) were found. Three species of vascular plants and nine taxons of lichens require monitoring of their nature populations and are included in the Appendix 1 to the Red Data Book of the Komi Republic. Our results confirm the priority of the Koigorodskiy National Park for conservation of biological diversity
