About the new record of the rare species Neottianthe cucullata (L.) Schleichter (Orchidaceae) in the Bryansk Region

Abstract

In the course of a geobotanical survey of the forests of the Klyukovensky district forestry in the Bryansk Region, the author discovered a new locality of the rare species Neottianthe cucullata (L.) Schleichter (Orchidaceae). To identify the phytocoenotic relationships of the studied species, relevés of the forest vegetation were carried out, which is assigned to the association of acidophylous herbaceous pine-oak forests of Polesye landscapes of the Southern Nechernozemye of Russia Vaccinio myrtilli–Quercetum roboris Bulokhov et Solomeshch 2003. The main recommendation for the protection of the species is the maximum limitation of the impact of anthropogenic factors (clear felling, collection of plants, trampling, fires) by creating specially protected natural areas and allocating especially protective forest areas during forest management in places of growth of N. cucullata.
