ON THE FLORA OF THE NATURAL MONUMENT “KUKRAUK WATERFALL” AND ITS SURROUNDINGS (THE REPUBLIC OF BASHKORTOSTAN)

Abstract

The flora of key heritage sites of designed geopark “Toratau” (the Republic of Bashkortostan, the Southern Urals), i.e. “Kukrauk waterfall” natural monument and the valley of the Kungurtuy stream was studied. 156 species of the vascular plants and 66 bryophyte species (57 mosses and 9 liverworts) were revealed. Two species (Polystichum braunii and Rhynchostegium riparioides) included in to the Red Book of the Republic of Bashkortostan, one species Polytrichum pallidisetum listed in the European Red List of bryophytes, as well as relic and endemic for the Southern Urals species were found in the area. It was shown, that unique microclimate of the valley of the Kungurtuy stream characterized by high shading and moisture level is favorable for high fern diversity (11 species) and surviving of habitats of relic boreal species within the belt of broadleaved forests. The list of species is provided; the rare species and taxa in need of protection are characterized. Taking into account the high conservation value of the Kungurtuy stream valley, the part of it is recommended to be included to the territory of the “Kukrauk waterfall” natural monument.

Key words

Specially protected natural areas, natural monument, flora, vascular plants, bryophytes, Republic of Bashkortostan, the Southern Urals, Kukrauk waterfall, Kungurtuy stream, geopark “Toratau”.
