Journal: Environments
Year: 2023

The charophytes in many regions of the world are still poorly understood. This hampers the synthesis of distributional and ecological datasets at worldwide and continental scales, as well as complicates the generalization of species concepts for widely distributed and local taxa. To fill in the blanks for charophytes in the Caucasus and to improve our knowledge of species distribution areas in Eurasia, a field survey and study of available specimens from Dagestan (North Caucasus, Russia) was con
