Abstract

Work on the fourth edition of the Red Data Book of the Republic of Buryatia has been completed. All descriptions and data on the distribution, structure, and population size of rare plants and fungi have been updated. Recommendations for the protection of these species have been prepared. Today, all available data on the distribution of rare plants and fungi in Buryatia have been converted into a digital format. An assessment of the spatial distribution of rare bryophytes, lichens, and fungi showed that they, liverworts in particular, have been studied thoroughly in protected areas of the region. The authors have created distribution databases for rare vascular plants of the Baikalsky State Nature Reserve and the Tunkinsky National Park. As part of this research, the lists and locations of rare vascular plants were respecified, data from literature, archives, and field observations were summarized, and large amounts of geodata from herbarium collections and open sources were used. Comparison of information from databases and plant distribution maps in different editions of the Red Data Book revealed an increase of high-quality data on the distribution of rare vascular plants of Buryatia. The reasons for that development were the public access to digitized herbaria, the availability of precise georeferencing for modern herbarium specimens, the publication of abundant reference materials, and increasing interest of non-professionals in botanical observations in the region
