Wild forage grasses from the Murmansk Region and the Republic of Karelia in the VIR Collection
https://doi.org/10.30901/2658-3860-2025-4-o2
Abstract
The article provides an analysis of the degree of representativeness of perennial forage grasses from the Murmansk Region and the Republic of Karelia in the VIR collection. Maps showing sites of sampling perennial forage grasses by VIR collecting missions have been compiled. Areas in the Murmansk Region and Republic of Karelia yet not explored by collecting missions have been identified.
