Орхидные России : (биология, экология и охрана) [Orchids of Russia : (biology, ecology and protection)]
В книге изложены результаты более чем тридцатилетнего изучения дикорастущих орхидных (Orchidaceae) в различных регионах России (от Калининградской области до Дальнего Востока, от Кольского п-ова до Кавказа) и за её пределами. Исследованы различные аспекты жизни орхидных — морфология и онтогенез, экология и фитоценология, микоризообразование, сезонный ритм, способы и интенсивность размножения, возрастная структура, устойчивость и динамика популяций, реакция на различные формы антропогенного воздействия, состояние их охраны. Обобщён большой объём отечественной и иностранной литературы. Полученные результаты легли в основу характеристик свыше 125 видов семейства Orchidaceae, отмеченных на территории России. Приведены карты ареалов и цветные изображения каждого вида. - Книга может быть полезна ученым-ботаникам, преподавателям высших учебных заведений и использована при разработке практических мер по сохранению видов этого семейства.
The book presents the results of a long-term (over 30 years) study of the family Orchidaceae across Russia: from Kaliningrad Province to the Far East and from the Cola Peninsula to the Caucasus, as well as in surrounding countries. Along with an insight into a history of orchid research in Russia, the book provides a review of modern knowledge in orchid morphology, habitats and seasonal development, and reproductive strategies, mycorrhiza, pollination and species geographic range and conservation status in Russia. The book includes descriptions of more than 125 orchid species illustrated with colour images and maps

Orchids of Russia and Adjacent Countries
Family Orchidaceae is one of the most attractive among other plant taxa due to unusual and decorative flowers and peculiar biology. The great naturalist Charles Darwin wrote to his friend Joseph Hooker: "I was never more interested in any subject in my life than this of orchids" (cited in Nilsson, 1981). The authors of present book have been studying terrestrial orchids in different parts of the former USSR for about 30 years. We observed orchids in different climatic zones along the geographical range presented on this territory. For instance, we studied orchids in polar region in the Cola Peninsula, in temperate zone in Central Russia, Central Ukraine, and Baltic Sea coast territories, in Mediterranean climate in the Crimea and the Caucasus, in continental climate in Siberia and Central Asia, in moonsonic climate in the Far East of Russia. We collected orchids in different mountain areas: the Carpathians, the Mountain Crimea, the Caucasus, the Khibini, the Urals, the Kopet-Dagh, the Sikhote-Alin. We have visited islands in the Pacific Ocean: Sakhalin and the Kuriles, which have peculiar orchid flora. Orchids were found and observed on disturbed areas as well as in protected habitats in Nature Zapovedniks and National Parks. Numerous data on orchid ecology and biology were collected during those field trips. On the other hand, the long-term observations on orchid populations were conducted on the permanent experimental plots for many years. General results of our studies are presented here. Also we have placed special emphasis on including works of other researches written in Russian and Ukrainian languages otherwise inaccessible to many readers
