ECOLOGICAL-GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS OF THE POISONOUS PLANTS DISTRIBUTION IN RUSSIA
Abstract
The regularities of poisonous plants distribution in Russia are revealed and their dependence on several climatic factors is analyzed. The study includes 82 species of the most poisonous plants belonging to 34 families and 58 genera. 55 species of Aconitum genus (Ranunculaceae) are considered separately because of their specific geographical distribution. The cartographic analysis shows that the minimum numbers of poisonous plants species (20 and less) are typical to the northern regions of Russia while the maximum numbers (more than 40) are characteristic of the Krasnodar Krai, Republic of Adygea and Kursk region. The analysis of correlation of plant species numbers with two climatic factors shows the most evident correlation between the number of poisonous plant species (apart from the Aconitum species) and the mean annual air temperature. No reliable correlation between the number of poisonous plant species and the amount of precipitation was found. The pattern of the Aconitum species distribution depends on the distance from the genus diversity center rather than on climatic factors.
