Fore¬casted Climate change as a threat to the rare species Potentilla porphyrantha (Rosaceae).
Keywords:
Armenia, climate change, Potentilla porphyrantha, threat to existence, reintroduction into natureAbstract
The article presents the results of forecasting climate change on Mount Amulsar, in the Sevan and Yerevan botanical gardens, and on the basis of these forecasts, the threat to the existence of a rare species Potentilla porphyrantha Juz. in natural habitats is estimated. It has been shown that, at least until 2100, climate change does not threaten the natural populations of this species. It is indicated that it is necessary to continue the cultivation and reproduction of this species in the conditions of the Sevan Botanical Garden in order to further its reintroduction into nature.
