OCCURRENCE AND HABITAT BELONGING OF ALCHEMILLA-SPECIES (ROSACEAE) ON THE WEST OF VOLOGDA REGION

The data about occurrence of 19 species are provided. A. micans is the most frequent species. Also A. baltica, A. acutiloba, A. monticola are rather frequent, too. Belonging of the species to five habitat types (dry grasslands; moist meadows; disturbed habitats; forest edges and bushes; forests) were estimated. The largest number (12) of Alchemilla-species was found in dry and moist meadows. The species of «European» chorological group are the most frequent, settle all the habitat types, demonstrate a kind of habitat diversification. The species of «East-European» chorological group are mostly rare, are absent in natural forest habitats, and has the biggest proportion of species composition in disturbed habitats comparing other habitat types. That indicates, probably, their adventitious character
