Abstract

The results of an analysis of the taxonomic and typological structure of the flora in small reservoirs of the Vychegda River basin (Komi Republic) are presented. It is found that the composition of the combined flora of the reservoirs includes 160 species and hybrids (including 28 species of bryophytes and 3 species of charophyte algae). In the presence of common features, the flora of each of the reservoirs is characterized by peculiar features. The differences are due to specific features of the morphological structure of the reservoirs and recent changes in the water area. The ratio of aquatic species to coastal species is almost equal in the flora of the reservoirs. The geographical structure of the flora of the reservoirs reflects their zonal position. Fourteen synanthropic species are recorded in the flora.
