Rare species of vascular plants in protected mires in the Republic of Mordovia

In the Republic of Mordovia, mires are protected in two federal protected areas (Mordovian Nature Reserve and Smolny National Park) and 16 regional natural monuments. 29 rare species of vascular plants out of 41 found in the mires of the region grow in protected mires. In the mires of the Mordovian Reserve, 19 species have been noted and the most finds have been made. There are 20 species on regional natural monuments, but the total number of finds is small. The network of regional protected areas, including mires, requires changes. There is a list of mires recommended for protection, on which 14 rare species grow, including 3, not marked on the currently protected mires.
