Abstract
During 2017–2025, we conducted a study of adventitious and invasive species on the coast of southern Baikal from the village of Bolshye Koty to the village of Vydrino within the Irkutsk region, as a result, 111 species from 99 genera and 34 families were identified. The family spectrum of the identified species is heterogeneous – 18 families are represented by only one species. The dominant position is occupied by the Asteraceae family, which includes 16 species, 15 species each from Poaceae and Brassicaceae, significantly inferior to the Fabaceae family – 8 species and Polygonaceae – 6 species, Rosaceae and Caryophyllaceae – 5 species each. This is followed by the families Apiaceae, Lamiaceae, Cannabaceae, Geraniaceae, Rubiaceae and Campanulaceae, containing 2 species each. The settlement of species of the adventitious fraction of flora, as well as invasive plant species, is often associated with large settlements and transit highways and railways. The largest number of invasive species was identified in the largest settlements of the research area – the cities of Baikalsk (60 species) and Slyudyanka (62 species), the villages of Kultuk (52 species) and Listvyanka (38 species) – and in their immediate vicinity.
