New record of Allium ursinum L. in Crimea considerably extends the current view on distribution of this species. The relict populations are well adapted to the Cri mean habitats. Therefore, the only threat to the species is not a change in the environmental conditions, but its active collection by the local population. Considering the rarity of A. ursinum in Crimea, its relict character and threats, we recommend to include this species in the new edition of the Red Data Book of Crimea.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
