title: Preliminary chorological analysis of vascular plants flora in mountain tundra and Arctic mountain deserts in Khibiny Mountains (Murmansk Region)
abstract: Percentage of bio-geographic elements of vascular plants was analysed in Mountain Tundra (MT) and the cold Arctic Mountain (goltzovy) desert (AMD) belts in Khibiny Mountains. Flora of MT (191 species) is richer than flora of AMD (62 species) more than three times. Arctic group of species in MT comprises 42 %, hypoarctic (26 %) and boreal together with polyzonal (32 %). In flora of AMD prevails arctic group of species (63 %), hypoarctic group is on the second place (23 %) and boreal (14 %). The r
