The annual anniversary conference in memoriam of Ekaterina Alekseevna Galkina — the “XI Galkina’s Readings” (Proceedings…, 2021) was organized by the Mire section of the Russian Botanical Society on April 21, 2021. It was dedicated to the 50-years since publishing of monography by N. Ya. Kats “Mires of the Globe” (1971). In 2021 it was one-day onli...

The relative importance of global versus local environmental factors for growth and thus carbon uptake of the bryophyte genus Sphagnum— the main peat‐former and ecosystem engineer in northern peatlands—remains unclear. We measured length growth and net primary production (NPP) of two abundant Sphagnum species across 99 Holarctic peatlands. We teste...

The north of Western Siberia has seen intensive economic development. Exploration and mining for mineral resources, active road and pipeline construction, urban development, and agriculture favor invasion and dispersal of alien plant species across the Subarctic region. The paper reports new records for eight alien species and hybrids previously un...

Rain-fed peatlands are dominated by peat mosses (Sphagnum sp.), which for their growth depend on nutrients, water and CO2 uptake from the atmosphere. As the isotopic composition of carbon (12,13C) and oxygen (16,18O) of these Sphagnum mosses are affected by environmental conditions, Sphagnum tissue accumulated in peat constitutes a potential long-t...

The moss floras of 9 small islands (less than 10 ha) in Lake Kamennoye (Kostomukshsky Strict Nature Reserve) were surveyed for the first time. Moss species lists (with 34 to 55 species) are given for each island. In total, 87 species of mosses were revealed, of which 11 species are new for the bryoflora of the nature reserve, 2 species are new for...

Rain-fed peatlands are dominated by peat mosses (Sphagnum sp.), which for their growth depend on elements from the atmosphere. As the isotopic composition of carbon (12,13C) and oxygen (16,18O) of these Sphagnum mosses are affected by environmental conditions, the dead Sphagnum tissue accumulated in peat constitutes a potential long-term archive th...

Human influence on bogs, including air pollution, causes changes in vegetation leading to the degradation of an ombrotrophic bog ecosystem into a more uniform transitional mire-like system. We have hypothesized that intensive atmospheric alkaline pollution will cause an increase in water pH and convergence of bryophyte species composition among mic...
