Floristic findings in southern nature regions of Tuva Republic and in conservation zone of Ubsunur Hollow Biosphere Reserve

A recent botanical survey in southern Tuva, Russia, has uncovered four aquatic plant species previously undocumented in the region: Najas marina, Ranunculus subrigidus, Sparganium angustifolium, and Utricularia macrorhiza. Additionally, 24 vascular plant species were recorded for the first time across five southern nature regions, including Erzin, Mongun-Tayga, Sangilen, Ubsunur, and Ulug-Khem. The study also identified several new species within the conservation zone of the Uvs Nuur Basin Biosphere Reserve. This research contributes to the floristic documentation of Tuva, providing critical data for biodiversity assessments and conservation efforts in this ecologically significant region.
