Abstract
An annotated list of liverworts collected in the basin of Unya River, a left tributary of Pechora River, is presented for the first time. The list includes 85 species, one subspecies and three varieties belonging to 50 genera, 32 families. For each taxon, the data on geographical locations, substrates, habitats, and structures associated with reproduction are provided. The new locations of rare liverworts of the Komi Republic (Frullania oakesiana, Reboulia hemisphaerica, Radula lindenbergiana) and of eight species protected in the Komi Republic (Arnellia fennica, Lophozia ascendens, Metzgeria furcata, Nardia breidleri, Odontoschisma elongatum, Porella platyphylla, Scapania apiculata, S. nemorea) are described. The studied forest habitats and rock outcrops are characterized by the highest taxonomic diversity: 49 and 37 species, respectively. The spruce-fir forests dominate in number of species (31) among the forest formations. Revealed liverworts prefer to grow on rocky substrates and disturbed soil. About 45% of the identified species form reproductive structures.
