“Chronicles of Nature” are a standard report format in use since the 1930s that collects the annual for phenology and biodiversity data in the Nature Reserves of Russia. These reports include data gathered by professional researchers using standardized methodologies in a system of strictly protected areas (in Russian “zapovednik”), that represents the world’s first continent-wide long-term monitoring scheme. Here we provide a long-term dataset on phenological phenomena for the territory of Prioksko-Terrasnyi Biosphere Reserve (Moscow region, Russia) collected in course of the “Chronicles of Nature” scientific program. The data cover the period of 75 years, 1946-2020. Since 1946 up to 1993 field data were collected by staff researchers of the Federal State Budgetary Institution (FSBI) “Prioksko-Terrasnyi National Nature Biosphere Reserve named after M.A. Zablotsky”, that conducts legal management of the biosphere reserve. Over the years in the pnenological monitoring were involved: A.S. Liseev, L.P. Poznanin, D.A. Koriakin, G.A. Milovanova, E.M. Kaliaeva, L.V. Zablotskaya, M.M. Zablotskaya, E.V. Lavreneva, V.I. Danilov, V.T. Popchenko, L.A. Panicheva, M.Kh. Ableev (1946-1993), M.M. Zablotskaya and G.V. Sokolova (1993-2016), G.V. Sokolova and A.V. Tarasov (2017-2019). The rangers of the Biosphere Reserve also participated in data collection during 1946-2015. The dataset includes observation dates of 32 types of events in the life of various taxa of animals (birds, insects, and arachnids), fungi, and vascular plants were observed annually. For vascular plants we recorded 15 annual events described vegetation, flowering, fruiting and withering; 8 for birds (for example, spring and autumn migration, reproduction and wintering), 5 for insects, and 2 for arachnids and fungi. The second version of the data set is presented. In comparison with the previous one, all phenological sampling plots are georeferenced more exactly, about 2000 incorrect records were excluded or corrected. This version systematizes phenomena, specifies the phenomena names and indicators of phenomena (methods of the registration). We also added about 1000 records from reports, missing in the first version for 1948-2016 and updated the data for 2017-2023

The occurrence of Cunninghamia konishii Hayata (1908) in Vietnam - Version 1.1

osipov_feodor@mail.ru (Feodor Osipov) — Mon, 21 Jul 2025 13:31:44 +0300

This species has been recorded in Ha Giang, Son La, Thanh Hoa, and Nghe An provinces. Its habitat has become increasingly fragmented, reduced, and degraded due to agricultural activities and forest fires. The species has been overexploited for timber and essential oil extraction. The population size is small and is estimated to have declined by more than 50% over the past 20 years (Nguyen Tien Hiep, 2023). The trees grow scattered in small patches within tropical monsoon evergreen mixed forests on low to mid-elevation mountains, typically on soils weathered from granite or other silicate rocks, at elevations ranging from 960 to 2000 meters. Natural regeneration from seeds is rarely observed under the forest canopy, but seedlings are more commonly found in landslide-prone areas or recently burned sites. The species has been heavily exploited for timber and essential oil. Its habitat continues to be affected by agricultural cultivation and forest fires. The essential oil is used for medicinal purposes, disinfection, insect repellent, and spiritual practices.

The occurrence of Bruguiera hainesii C.G.Rogers 1919 in Vietnam - Version 1.1

vgpetrosyan@gmail.com (Varos Petrosyan) — Tue, 11 Mar 2025 16:29:54 +0300

Bruguiera hainesii has small flowers, usually clustered in groups of 2–3 on a single inflorescence. The flowers predominantly bloom from January to March and it is uncommon to encounter a tree bearing fruit. The average height of the individuals is 15 m, with a trunk diameter of 84 cm. This species has a distinctive aerial root system, which helps the tree resist erosion and stabilises the soil. The aerial roots typically develop robustly, forming a network of secondary roots that rise above the ground and water, aiding in oxygen absorption in the muddy environment.

In Vietnam, this species primarily grows in mangrove forests on a small island (Hon Ba Island, part of the Con Dao Natural Park, Ba Ria-Vung Tau province). The habitat of Bruguiera hainesii here is characterised by saline water, partially submerged by tides, with seasonal variations in seawater levels. The mangrove forests where Bruguiera hainesii thrives are noted for their soft, thick mud layer and frequent inundation. The trees often grow in shallow water areas where there is an exchange of water between the sea and the land.

Bruguiera hainesii is categorised as "Critically Endangered" by the IUCN Red List (Duke et al. 2010). This species has a very restricted distribution, found in Con Dao, Vietnam and a few neighbouring countries, such as Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Australia (GBIF). The conservation status of the species in Vietnam faces significant challenges, primarily due to the absence of fruiting in recent years, the lack of observed regenerating seedlings and the species' exposure to declining area and quality of habitat in mangrove forests. The main threats to this species include coastal erosion, sea level changes due to climate change and the expansion of tourism activities in the mangrove areas, which places additional pressure on its habitat.

natalya.dryomys@gmail.com (Natalya Ivanova) — Thu, 04 Jul 2024 16:48:06 +0300

Castor fiber L. population in the Oka river valley near the medieval city of Serpukhov was extinguished by overhunting in the mid 16th century (Demidov, 2019). Reintroduction started in 1948 on the territory of the newly established Prioksko-Terrasny Reserve. First two pairs were brought from Voronezhsky Reserve (Zablotskaya, 1979) and two more pairs arrived in 1955 from Belorus. Beavers were let go into small rivers - Tadenka and Ponikovka. From the first year of reintroduction and up to the present day the growing population was under constant observation and every beaver settlement was mapped. Number of beavers inhabiting the Reserve is counted after assessment of the settlements’ strength (Lavrov, 1952). The dataset presents the location of all beaver settlements in the Reserve and the number of inhabiting beavers.

This dataset represents data of earthworms surveys collected in 2 protected areas (Kaluzhskiye Zaseki Nature Reserve and Ugra National Park) in Kaluga Oblast, Russia. Earthworms were sampled by digging-out and hand-sorting (by layers) of the soil samples of 25 * 25 cm and a depth of c. 35 cm in different locations (sampling plots). Some locations were investigated once, some several times within one year or several years. Due to such sampling design the dataset includes 3 types of events: (1) the survey (soil samples collected in the location during one sampling period), (2) soil sample (part of the survey, one sample of 25 * 25 cm and a depth of c. 35 cm collected during the survey), including empty samples, and (3) soil sample layer (part of the soil sample). Occurrence data provide 6673 earthworms occurrences in soil sample layers with life stage (juvenile, adult, or subadult), and biomass for each individual, as well as 271 earthworms occurrences in the survey with density for each survey.

Checklist of mammal species of Prioksko-Terrasny reserve - Version 1.1

natalya.dryomys@gmail.com (Natalya Ivanova) — Mon, 03 Sep 2018 11:06:39 +0300

Checklist of mammal species of the Prioksko-Terrasny Reserve was established on the basis of own observations of the animals and traces of their activities, made since 2005, published materials and Chronicles of the Nature Reserve. Own observations included - observations on routes in different parts of the reserve, winter route surveys of non-hibernating large mammals, tracking movements of animals on footprints in the snow, catches of small mammals, catches of bats by spider webs, accounts of beavers and beaver settlements (Albov, Khlyap, 2015, 2016). Cytogenetic and molecular genetic studies of hedgehogs, roe deer, and some species of small mammals have been carried out (Albov et al., 2010; 2015; Baskevich et al., 2009; 2016; 2016; Bogdanov et al., 2014). The list includes 62 species that inhabited the reserve from the beginning of its existence (1945). Of these, 13 species appeared here in the first 50 years of its existence. Two such new species contained and bred in a fenced area nursery: Bison bison constantly in captivity, Bison bonasus (young) were released from the enclosure only in the summer from 1951 to 1992. During the same period, two species (Rattus rattus and Neovison vison) disappeared from the reserve territory. In addition, there are hybridization processes, and it is not clear: whether there were ever on the territory of the reserve purebreds Erinaceus europaeus. DNA of this species was found only in hybrid individuals Erinaceus europaeus x Erinaceus roumanicus (Albov et al., 2015). There is no evidence of the presence of purebred deer (Cervus nippon, Cervus elaphus) and roe deer (Capreolus pygargus, Capreolus capreolus). All this makes it difficult to determine the exact number of mammal species in the modern fauna of the reserve. Data standardisation was supported by a GBIF - FinBIF data mobilization grant for European Russia (Russia-02).

The dataset describes protected species of the Carabidae family (Insecta, Coleoptera) stored in the entomological collection of the Museum of the Institute of Plant and Animal Ecology of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Museum of IPAE UB RAS) and included in the regional Red Data Books of administrative-territorial formations of the eastern slope of the Urals and Western Siberia (Yamalo-Nenets and Khanty-Mansi autonomous districts, Tyumen, Sverdlovsk, Kurgan and Chelyabinsk regions). We found that on the territory under consideration, 26 species are included in the latest editions of the regional Red Data Books; of these, there are 19 species in the Museum’s collection, numbering 2.248 specimens (= occurences in the dataset). In addition, we made recommendations for correcting the species lists of Carabidae: most of the ground beetle species are rightfully included in the regional Red Data Books. However, for several species, the status of protected is controversial. Perhaps Carabus canaliculatus, Carabus estreicheri, Carabus odoratus, Carabus regalis, Pterostichus kaninensis, Pterostichus urengaicus should be excluded from the regional Red Data Books of the Urals and Western Siberia since these are common species in these territories, whose habitats and populations do not have significant threats. We clarify that Carabus menetriesi needs protected status only on the eastern edge of the range, in the Tyumen region, and Carabus loschnikovi only in an isolated area of the range in the Sverdlovsk region (Denezhkin Kamen and Konzhakovsky Kamen mount massifs). We concluded that Carabus exaratus, Carabus hummeli, and Polystichus connexus are of the most significant interest in the collection of the Museum of IPAE UB RAS. These species have specimens found in isolated areas of their ranges; the publication of these data will make it possible to supplement the descriptions of the species in the compilation of subsequent editions of the regional Red Data Books.

FLORA OF THE KURILSKIY NATURE RESERVE - Version 1.2

natalya.dryomys@gmail.com (Natalya Ivanova) — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 20:39:25 +0300

Monitoring and inventory of the species of the Kurilsky Nature Reserve is carried out since 1984. Flora of the reserve totals 1915 species, including 374 species of mosses, 271 species of algae, 91 species of mushrooms and 214 species of lichens. The Red Data Books of the Russian Federation and the Sakhalin Region includes 104 species of vascular plants. The vegetation cover is characterized by the altitudinal zonality. Comprising 80% of the protective zone forests form the basis of the vegetation cover. Dark-coniferous forests formed by the Sakhalin fir (Abies sachalinensis), Yezzo and Glen’s spruce (Picea jezoensis, P. glehnii) account for 62% of the forested area. Deciduous forests formed by Erman's birch (Betula ermanii), Manchurian alder (Alnus hirsuta), Japanese rowan (Sorbus commixta), Mayr’s maple (Acer mayrii), tree aralia (Kalopanax septemlobus) with the undergrowth of panicled hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata), elderberry (Sambucus miquelii), Sakhalin bilberry (Vaccinium smallii) and woody vines of the variegated-leaf hardy kiwi and hardy kiwi (Actinidia kolomikta, Actinidia arguta), climbing hydrangea (Hydrangea petiolaris), Asian poison ivy (Toxicodendron orientale) occupy 19% of the reserve. The same part of the territory (19%) is covered with the overgrowth of the Siberian dwarf pine (Pinus pumila). Demin and Oskolki Islands are characterized by meadow herbs and grasses-fruticous communities. The stem height of the main representatives of tall grasses– the Sakhalin knotweed (Reynoutria sachalinensis), bear’s angelica (Angelica ursina), Cacalia robusta, and Aleutian ragwort (Senecio cannabifolius) – reaches 4 m. A particular landscape role is played by the representatives of the Sasa genus (creeping bamboo) which form the dense impenetrable overgrowth in the forest glades and understocked stands. Bamboo helps strengthen slopes and plays a major role in soil formation thanks to a powerful root system and abundant litter. The reserve has 12 species of this plant. The flora of the reserve accounts for 1339 species, including 374 species of mosses, 263 species of algae, more than 200 species of mushrooms and more than 300 species of lichens. 104 species of vascular plants are listed in the Red Data Books of Russia (2008) and the Sakhalin Region (2005). The most interesting plants are the ones found only on Kunashir Island, in the area ofits northern border: the Amur maple (Acer japonicum), Japanese monarch birch (Betula maximowicziana), Daphniphyllum humile, Japanese rhododendron (Rhododendron tschonoskii), whitebark magnolia (Magnolia hypoleuca), Japanese hydrangea vine (Schizophragma hydrangeoides), Japanese lime (Tilia maximowicziana) and others [Barkalov, 2003].

Vertebrates compose 2 species of cyclostomates, 41 of fish, 3 species of amphibians, 5 species of reptiles, 281 species of birds and 29 species of mammals. 4668 species of invertebrates have been recorded. The fauna of the reserve is represented by 5027 species, 90% of which are invertebrates. Among vertebrates, the richest in term of speciesis ornitofauna – 281 species, including 125 nestling species. The Red book of the Russian includes 33 species of birds. The rarest and most interesting birds are the following: the island subspecies of fish owl (Ketupa blakistoni), Japanese crane (Grus japonensis), Steller's sea eagle (Haliaeetus pelagicus), the mandarin duck (Aix galericulata), Japanese green pigeon (Treron sieboldii), varied tit (Parus varius and crested kingfisher (Megaceryle lugubris). There are 29 species of mammals registered in the reserve. The largest representative is the brown bear (Ursus arctos); it is remarkable that in the territory of Kunashir Island there are individuals with an unusual gray color. The red fox (Vulpes vulpes), mountain hare (Lepus timidus), Siberian chipmunk (Eutamias sibiricus), sable (Martes zibellina), weasel (Mustela nivalis) are most frequently referenced. In the waters of the Kunashir and on the cliffs of the islands of the Lesser Kuril Ridge, the Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) can be observed. The sea otter is also observed near the islands (Enhydra lutris gracilis) [Voronov, 2004]. Large rookeries of the spotted seal (Phoca largha) and harbor seal (Phoca vitulina) are located along the coast of Kunashir Island. 3 species of mammals (Steller sea lion, harbor seal and sea otter) are rare and listed in the Red book of the Russian Federation. 5 species of reptiles: the Japanese five-lined skink (Plestiodon finitimus), Japanese four-lined ratsnake (Elaphe quadrivirgata), Japanese rat snake (Elaphe climacophora), Japanese forest rat snake (Elaphe japonica), mamushi (Gloydius blomhoffii blomhoffii) most often observed in the area of hot springs. There are 3 species of amphibians near the perennial impounded and intermittent water bodies: the Siberian salamander (Salamandrella keyserlingii), Japanese tree frog (Hyla japonica), the Hokkaidō frog (Rana pirica) [Rastitelnyi zhivotny mir..., 2002]. 39 species of fish are foundin the water bodies of the reserve, among which there is a rare species – the Sakhalin taimen (Parahucho perryi).

Survey of Saproxylic Fungi Communities from Franklin Parker Preserve, New Jersey, USA, via metabarcoding - Version 1.3

mashum@gmail.com (Maria Shumskaya) — Fri, 10 Apr 2020 01:57:54 +0300

The focus of this survey is fungi from Franklin Parker Reserve, NJ, that inhabit dead wood. In order to survey the communities of dead wood fungi, in June 2018, 7 drills were made in 10 logs, each drill was separated by 1 meter. Sawdust from each log was pooled. Logs included various stages of decay, also some were standing dead wood. Samples were collected for DNA to be extracted and for fungi to be identified. In order to do it, metabarcoding of sawdust samples is performed. The analysis includes DNA isolation from dead wood, PCR of ITS2 regions unique to fungi using tagged primers, and next generation sequencing (NGS). Results from NGS were analyzed via SCATA bioinformatics pipeline to identify the fungal samples in the sawdust. The work was performed by students of Kean University, NJ, in order to practice saproxylic biodiversity assessment, metabarcoding, and GBIF publication.

Vascular plants of forest-steppe depressions (Voronezh Region) - Version 1.0

starodbtsv@gmail.com (Elena Starodubtseva) — Thu, 03 Oct 2019 18:00:52 +0300

The dataset contains a list of vascular plant species from natural complexes of two closed forest-steppe depressions (Russian Federation, Voronezh region, Verkhnekhavsky district) recorded in 2019. Flat-bottom steppe depressions (padings) are flat-bottomed hollows, often rounded, in diameter up to several hundred meters and a depth of several meters. Depressions are widespread on plains composed of loess loam in the steppe and forest-steppe zones of the European part of Russian Federation. They are elements of the forest-steppe complex, which includes meadow steppes, plant groups on saline soils, meadows, swamps, willows and aspen groves (“aspen bushes”). Currently, the forest-steppe complex is severely disturbed by human activities: meadows and steppes are almost everywhere plowed. The ecological conditions of the interfluve depressions (close occurrence of groundwater, meltwater spring stagnation, waterlogging, salinity) do not allow the use of these lands in crop production. Actually, this is the main reason that these elements of the forest-steppe complex are now preserved among plowed agricultural fields and play an important role in the biodiversity conservation. Information on the flora and vegetation of Voronezh region depressions is contained in several publications (Popov, 1914; Kamyshev, 1965; Drozdov, Akhtyrtsev, 1973). In these articles, forest depressions of Voronezh region are described as complexes of grass or sedge bogs, aspen (Populus tremula) or birch-aspen (Betula pendula - Populus tremula), less often - oak-aspen-birch and oak groves and shrub thickets (willow bushes with species of Salix genus and blackthorns with Prunus spinosa). These publications mention the single presence of pine (Pinus sylvestris) in the tree layer of some depressions (Drozdov and Akhtyrtsev, 1973); however, to date, forest communities with pine domination have not been described in the forest-steppe depressions of European part of Russia. The pine forests in the interfluve depressions of the Voronezh region are a new phenomenon. The dataset is the first publication of vascular plant flora of interfluve depressions natural complex located in Verkhnekhavsky district of Voronezh region. The dataset contains new data on the records of rare species listed in the Red List of Voronezh region.

The dataset includes a list of vascular plant species registered on the territory of the Voronezh State Nature Reserve (Russian Federation, Lipetsk and Voronezh Regions) from 1929 to 2019. Various researchers studied the Reserve flora. In 1938, Maria V. Nikolaevskaya published a list of 537 vascular plants species. By 1946, she had noted about 730 species in the protected area. In 1946-1947, special floristic studies were carried out by Sergey V. Golitsyn; he identified 973 species for the Reserve and the area along the railway crossing the protected area (Голицын, 1961). Since 1988, Elena Starodubtseva has been studying the Reserve flora. The annotated flora list (Стародубцева, 1999) published in 1999 included 969 species directly on the Reserve territory and 69 species in the zone along the railway crossing the Reserve (this territory is not included in the protected area). Over the next 20 years, a large number of new species were identified as a result of annual monitoring of the species composition of vascular plants. According to the data for 2019, the list of flora includes 1,051 species registered directly on the territory of the Reserve.

The current list of birds in the region includes 310 species and subspecies belonging to 19 orders and 55 families, in addition, hybrids of wagtails (Motacilla flava + M. lutea) and buntings (Emberiza citrinella + E. leucocephala). When compiling a list of birds in the region, the author’s personal observations were used. Stationary observations were conducted in the territory of the Zhiguli Reserve since 1980 and expeditionary studies were conducted since 1996 in the region under the program of Key Ornithological Territories of Russia of the Russian Bird Protection Union (6) and during the collecting of material for the Atlas of breeding birds of European Russia under the program “Birds of Moscow and Moscow Region” from 2013 to 2017 (7). Also the published and archival materials on birds of the territory that is part of the modern Samara Oblast (more than 400 sources), collection materials of P.V. Alabin Samara Regional Museum of History and Local Lore (8, 9) and the zoological museum of Moscow State University were used. Amateur ornithologists (over 40 people) were widely involved in the inventory of birds during regional competitions: “Falcon” (to identify rare species nests) from 1983 to 1990 (10), and since 2014, the Great Year photo contest (11, 12). After the publication of the latest avifaunistic report in 2017 (13), the list of species of birds in the region was replenished with new species and subspecies, the presence of rare species previously classified as extinct was confirmed.

The Register of Russian Biodiversity Sources - Version 1.2

natalya.dryomys@gmail.com (Natalya Ivanova) — Wed, 12 Sep 2018 16:50:02 +0300

A few hundred years of the exploration of Russian flora, fauna, and mycota have generated a great body of biodiversity data. These data are found in different museums and herbaria and are reflected in literature data from different countries and researchers. Some data are already digitized and organized in databases, but most of the data are disaggregated and presented in different formats (Ivanova, Shashkov, 2017; Filippova et al., 2017). A central national biodiversity system is missing. The majority of Russian botanical and zoological collections are not digitized. Our local source includes metadata about biological collections, archives, digital biodiversity databases and data holders contacts. Also we summarized literature sources about Russian biodiversity databases from 1993 until now (http://gbif.ru/ruspublic). Our source will be updated.

Forest vegetation of the northeastern part of the Kostroma region (European Russia) - Version 1.3

natalya.dryomys@gmail.com (Natalya Ivanova) — Mon, 03 Sep 2018 11:03:44 +0300

This data set is a part of the database “Vegetation relevés in temperate forest region of European Russia” (DOI: 10.15468/gohlb5) and includes 234 vegetation relevés sampled at temporal plots (commonly 10 × 10 m) which are located in northeast of the Kostroma Region including the Kologrivsky Les State Nature Reserve. The relevés describe hemiboreal forest communities of various stand ages and tree species composition. There are old-growth forests dominated by Picea abies, Abies sibirica and Tilia cordata as well as young and middle-aged mixed forests with Populus tremula, Betula spp. and Pinus sylvestris; after cutting areas are also presented. Here we provide only basic information about sample plots and associated vascular plant species occurrences because now the Darwin Core standard doesn't have the terminology for storing sizes of individual trees, stand-level inventory data, and characteristics of vegetation layers. The full information is available via the European Vegetation Archive (EVA; http://euroveg.org/eva-database; EU-RU-014). Data processing was supported by a GBIF - FinBIF data mobilization grant for European Russia (Russia-02).

Our local database includes about 5000 vegetation relevés sampled at temporal plots (commonly 10 × 10 m) which are mostly located in State nature reserves and National parks of European Russia. The relevés describe forest communities and, to a lesser extent, meadow communities; about 10% of the relevés was sampled on former agricultural fields which were abandoned from 1 to 25 years before the sampling. Mature and old-growth broad-leaved forests dominated by Quercus robur, Fraxinus excelsior, Tilia cordata, Ulmus spp. and Acer spp. as well as mixed forests with Picea abies and/or Pinus sylvestris and broad-leaved trees are described from the State Nature Reserves Kaluzhskie zaseki, Voronezhskiy, Kologrivskiy Les, Prioksko-Terrasnyi, Prisurskiy, Bolshaya Kokshaga and from the Ugra and Mariy-Chodra National Parks. Modern relevés were georeferenced with using GPS, legacy ones based on verbal descriptions of sampling plot locations. E. Starodubtseva, M. Bobrovsky, N. Sultanova, O. Smirnova, L. Zaugolnova, M. Shovkun, M. Bekmansurov, S. Moskalenko, Yu. Dorogova, and N. Ivanova are authors of a large part of the relevés.

Flora of vascular plants in the Central European Russia - Version 1.2

max.carabus@gmail.com (Maxim Shashkov) — Wed, 16 Nov 2016 09:52:46 +0300

The database “Flora of the Central European Russia” (Zaugol’nova and Khanina 1996) was developed for generalization of taxonomic lists of vascular plants used in central regions of European Russia. The database includes a list of 2365 vascular plants occurred in the Moscow and adjacent regions. Species names and their taxonomy are given according to Cherepanov (1995). Some species traits are listed according to reports by various authors (Meusel et al., 1965; Landolt, 1977; Grime, 1979; Tsyganov, 1985; Ellenberg et al., 1991). Original ecological-coenotic classification of species is presented (Smirnova et al., 2004). 125 literary sources were used for creation of the database including local flora checklists and lists of Natural Reserves. List of references (in Russian) is available from http://www.impb.ru/eco/lit.php Here we published only species checklist of the database, but additional information about ecology of individual species available from web interface http://www.impb.ru/eco/index.php
