Mountains of Kilpisjärvi Host An Abundance of Threatened Plants in Finnish Lapland

Malla Strict Nature Reserve (Malla SNR), located by Lake Kilpisjärvi in the north- western corner of Finland, approximately 270 km north of the Arctic Circle, conserves 3050 ha of subarctic birch forest and alpine environment. Pikku-Malla Fell (734 m alt.) and the adjoining Saana Fell (1029 m alt.) are famous for their rich flora, including numerous rare species. Calcicolous alpine species, which are rare or absent in other parts of Finland, are the most characteristic element of the flora. In this paper I summarize the red-listed vascular plants and bryophytes recorded in Malla SNR and on Saana Fell. For Malla and Saana, 24 vascular plants and 68 bryophytes are currently classified as threatened, and 23 vascular plants and 47 bryophytes as near-threatened. Due to the high geomorphological diver- sity and base-rich bedrock, these mountains provide a wide variety of habitats for rare and threatened plant species.
Кауханен Х. На горах Килписъярви сосредоточено множество редких растений финской Лапландии Природный заказник Малла, расположенный вблизи озера Килписъярви на северо-западной оконечности Финляндии, приблизительно в 270 км к северу от полярного круга, покрывает 3050 гектаров, занятых березовым криволесьем и горными тундрами. Небольшие горы Пикки-Малла (734 м над ур. м.) и Саана (1029 м над ур. м.) знамениты благодаря их богатой флоре, включающей большое количество редких видов. Кальцефильные альпийские таксоны, редкие или отсутствующие на остальной части Финляндии, являются наиболее характерным элементом флоры. В данной работе я обобщаю данные по «краснокнижным » видам сосудистых растений и мохообразных указывавшихся для заказника Малла и горы Саана. В настоящее время 24 вида сосудистых растений и 68 мохообразных, из указанных для этого района, классифицируются как нуждающиеся в охране и еще 23 вида сосудистых растений и 47 мохообразных как условно угрожаемые. Благодаря высокому разнообразию в геоморфологическом строении и широкому распространению основных пород, район исследования обладает большим разнообразием местообитаний для произрастания редких и угрожаемых видов растений.
