On the flora of the Ypäyssuo Hydrological (Mire) Nature Reserve, Karelia (Russia)
Ypäyssuo is the largest mire system in Karelia, which in 2015 was, together with a big part of the Kepasuo mire system, included in the newly established regional hydrological (mire) nature reserve (zakazknik) Ypäyssuo. The Ypäyssuo mire system was surveyed by different specialists in 1954, 2003 and...
