Abstract and Figures

Information on lichens of Franz Josef Land is summarized based on original and literature data. Two hundred twenty nine lichen species are documented, of which 59 species and two varieties are newly reported for this territory. This represents only 13% of the Arctic lichen flora richness. We have found 28 rare lichen species in the archipelago and recommend to include 9 species in the Red Data Book of the Arkhan-gelsk Region of Russia.

Introduction
The first information about lichens of Franz Josef Land was published by
Fischer (1896), who reported seven lichen species collected by the expedition
of Jackson and Harmsworth in 1894–97. The Italian expedition “Spedizione
Polare di S. A. R. Luigi Amadeo di Savoia Duca degli Abruzzi 1899–1900”
collected 24 lichen species which were subsequently determined by A. Jatta and
published by Mattirolo and Belli (1903). Elenkin and Savichz (1912) reported
41 lichen species collected by I.V. Palibin during the Russian expedition on
the icebreaker “Ermak” in 1901. Lynge (1931) published 69 lichen species
collected by O. Hanssen during the Norwegian expedition in 1930. Around
the same time Savichz (1932) published results of the Russian expedition on
the icebreaker “Sedow” in 1929. Further contributions to the lichen flora were
done within the framework of the geobotanical study of Alexandra Land Island
(Alexandrova 1969, 1977, 1981, 1983). Additional information on some lichen

taxa from the region occurred in subsequent papers on lichens or lichenicolous
fungi (Vitikainen 1994; Zhurbenko and Santesson 1996; Urbanavichus 2001;
Jørgensen 2004; Halonen et al. 2009; Zhurbenko 2009; Kukwa and Zhurbenko
2010; Onut-Brännström et al. 2018). Andreev et al. (1996) summarized data
on 127 lichen taxa known by that time from Franz Josef Land. The panarctic
lichen checklist (Kristinsson et al. 2010) lists 154 species for the archipelago.
Recent book on plants and fungi of the polar deserts in the northern hemisphere
(Zhurbenko and Konoreva 2015) contains data on 100 terrestrial lichen species
from the area.
The aim of this paper is to summarize all information on lichens of Franz
Josef Land based on original and literature data.
Materials and methods
This synopsis presented below is mainly based on identification of lichen
collections of S.S. Kholod (2012, 2015) and V.P. Savichz (1930). Results of
revision of some additional lichen collections, as well as all available literature
reports, are also included. The parts of the archipelago where lichens were
collected by S.S. Kholod and prior to his field studies are shown in Figs 1 and 2,
respectively. Lichen identification was performed by standart light microscopy
using Zeiss Primo Star, MBS-10 and MS-2 microscopes. For determination of
lichen substancies of Lepraria, Ochrolechia, Pertusaria and Stereocaulon species
thin layer chromatography was employed (Orange et al. 2001). The maps were
prepared using MapInfo programme. Voucher specimens are housed in the lichen
herbarium of the Komarov Botanical Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia (LE).
Study area
Franz Josef Land archipelago (Arkhangelsk Region of Russia) consisting
of 192 islands is located in the northern part of the Barents Sea, within
79°55’–81°51’N and 44°50’–65°30’E. Its area is 16134 km2. The Austrian
and British straits divide the archipelago into 3 groups: western, central and
eastern (Govorucha 1968). The distribution of water masses and degree of ice
cover of the surrounding water spaces have a significant effect on the physics-
geographical conditions of the archipelago. Its western part is under the prevailing
influence of the Atlantic waters. The Arctic waters predominate in its eastern
and northeastern parts. The central islands are under the mixed influence of
the Atlantic, Arctic and Barents Sea waters. The arrival of radiation heat in
the archipelago is 60 kcal/year. Its low value is due to the low standing of the
sun, the high albedo of glacial surfaces, and the prolonged polar night (up to

130 days). Despite the lack of radiation heat, the overcooling of the archipelago
does not occur due to the influx of advective heat and the influence of the sea.
Average monthly temperatures in winter do not drop below –27°C. The average
monthly summer temperatures do not exceed +2°C (July, August), the average
annual air temperature is –12°C. The summer on the archipelago is damp and
cold, often with night frosts (Govorucha 1968).
Most of the islands are an elevated basaltic plateau divided into separate
blocks by tectonic faults. 85% of the archipelago is covered with glaciers.
Melt waters of glaciers are the main sources of rivers, lakes and lightly saline
lagoons. Different types of ecotopes are represented by such landscape elements
as coastal shafts, marine terraces, mountain slopes, moraine ridges or areas along
the glacier margins with thixotropic soils.
Franz Josef Land is located within the polar desert nature zone (Matveyeva
2015). The soil profiles are thin, incomplete and characterized by weak expression
of genetic horizons. Humus soils occur in the west of the archipelago, sandy
and sandy loamy soils dominate in its eastern parts. Cryogenic processes led to
widespread polygonal soils. Bryophytes and lichens dominate in the vegetation
cover. In most plant communities the projective cover is 3–5%, however, along
the banks of meltwater streams it reaches 20–25%, and occasionally, for instance
near bird colonies, even 90%.

The species can only be confidently identified using molecular data, so this
identification is uncertain as it was evidently based only on morphology.

Discussion
By the beginning of our research, 170 lichen species were known for
the archipelago (Kristinsson et al. 2010). As a result of the research, another
59 species were discovered, and thus the total richness of its known lichen flora
numbers 229 species. However, this represents only 13% of the Arctic lichen
flora richness (Kristinsson et al. 2010), which suggests that lichen flora of the
archipelago is far from being fully revealed. Indeed, many lichen collections
were made by geobotanists, which usually ommit species growing on stone
and drift-wood.
The most frequently reported lichen species in Franz Josef Land are the
following: Bryocaulon divergens, Cetrariella delisei, Cladonia coccifera, C. gracilis,
C. pyxidata, Ochrolechia frigida, Peltigera canina, P. rufescens, Pseudephebe
minuscula, P. pubescens, Sphaerophorus fragilis, S. globosus, Stereocaulon
alpinum, Tremolecia atrata, Umbilicaria hyperborea and U. proboscidea. Among
the most rarely reported lichen species in the archipelago are Agonimia gelatinosa,
Alectoria gowardii, Allocetraria madreporiformis, Arctocetraria nigricascens,
Arctomia delicatula, Bilimbia microcarpa, Bryonora septentrionalis, Bryostigma
muscigena, Buellia badia, Catillaria contristans, Cladonia libifera, Lecania
subfuscula, Lecanora campestris, Lecidella bullata, Lichenomphalia alpina,
Masonhalea inermis, Micarea lignaria, Multiclavula corynoides, M. vernalis,
Peltigera elisabethae, P. lyngei, Placopsis lambii, Protothelenella spinctrinoidella,
Rhizocarpon lecanorinum, Schadonia alpina, Thelidium papulare, Umbilicaria
aprina and U. leiocarpa. The latter includes species that are difficult to detect in
the field, species with obscure taxonomy, and/or species on the border of their
range. The lists of common and rare species of Franz Josef Land and the Arctic
are generally the same (Kristinsson et al. 2010).
Lichens of Franz Josef Land archipelago 169
According to the results of our research, we can recommend to include
the following lichen species in the Red Data Book of the Arkhangelsk Region
of Russia: Alectoria gowardii, Allocetraria madreporiformis, Arctocetraria
nigricascens, Masonhalea inermis, Peltigera lyngei, P. elisabethae, Placopsis
lambii, Umbilicaria aprina and U. leiocarpa.

The distribution of Umbilicaria aprina and U. rhizinata in Russia was revised basing on morphological and molecular-phylogenetic data. Umbilicaria aprina is new to Alexandra Land Island (Franz Josef Land Archipelago), Sverdrup Island (Taimyr Dolgano-Nenets District), the republics of Altai, North Ossetia-Alania and Sakha-Yakutia. Umbilicaria rhizinata is new to the republics of Tyva and Buryatia, Putorana Plateau, Kamchatka Peninsula, and the Magadan Region and therefore is reported for the first time to Asian Subarctic. New localities of the species in other regions are cited. ITS\5.8S phylogenetic tree supports distinctness of U. aprina and U. rhizinata. The distribution map is drawn and patterns of distribution of two species are discussed. Umbilicaria aprina occurs in the high Arctic between 74°N and 81°N, whereas the northernmost locality of U. rhizinata is in the vicinity of Norilsk in Putorana Plateau (ca. 70°N). In mountains U. aprina grows at higher maximal elevations compared to U. rhizinata

Russian High Arctic archipelagos still lack knowledge on the freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity. Here, we present results of the freshwater bodies’ survey of the nine islands in the Franz Josef Land archipelago, north-eastern Barents Sea, carried out in August 2016. Freshwater lakes and streams along with associated coastal habitats were examined for hydrochemistry, elemental composition of sediments, microbiota, macrozoobenthos, flora and vegetation as well as ornithofauna. Despite the harsh climate conditions and ephemeral character of the freshwater bodies, there were a diverse microflora and macrozoobenthos. Macrozoobenthos consisted primarily of chironomid larvae (with highest abundances at 6644.4 specimens/m² and wet biomass hereinafter referred biomass 3.1 g/m²) and enchytraeids (abundances up to 922.2 specimens/m², biomass up to 0.2 g/m²); additionally, numerous mermitides were found in two sites; and tardigrades were found in a single water body. Grass-moss and moss communities in coastal habitats were described. We propose to include freshwater bodies of Franz Josef Land in the CBMP network, which at the moment lacks any monitoring sites in the Russian High Arctic, and has the only site at comparable latitudes in the Arctic Canada. Our results can be used as the background data on the freshwater environment and biodiversity for - further monitoring.

The aim of the research was to study the relationship between the intensity of iceberg formation in the Russian Arctic including the number of icebergs calving annually from outlet glaciers and surface air temperature anomalies. The research was carried out on the basis of satellite monitoring using non-commercial, freely distributed satellite information from optical-electronic satellites Landsat-8 (spatial resolution 15 m) and Sentinel-2 (spatial resolution 10 m) and the radar satellite Sentinel-1 (pixel size 20×40 m). To achieve the aim, an iceberg detection technique was used based on statistical criteria for searching for gradient zones in the analysis of two-dimensional fields of satellite images. Based on the analysis of satellite data of the visible spectral range of the Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 satellites and Sentinel-1 radar data the maximum spatial dimensions of icebergs formed by the outlet glaciers of Severnaya Zemlya, Franz Josef Land (ZFI) and Novaya Zemlya in 2012–2022 were estimated. Satellite monitoring of the Severnaya Zemlya region was carried out using visible range images in the spring season (March–May), characterized by the best observation conditions in terms of cloudiness, natural light, and monitoring of icebergs most of which are located in fast ice at this time. Monitoring of the ZFI area was carried out using radar data in the period August-September, corresponding to the minimal ice cover conditions. Satellite monitoring of the Novaya Zemlya region was carried out using visible images in the summer season. In total, about 500 satellite images were analyzed. The discusses the dependence of the intensity of the iceberg formation process on the ice shelf and outlet glaciers with a floating edge on the surface air temperature and the maximum thickness of fast ice. It is shown that the abnormally warm weather that set in 2020 during the period of ice melting led to a sharp intensification of the process of glacier melting in the Russian Arctic and the formation of almost 8,000 icebergs near Severnaya Zemlya, more than 6,600 icebergs near ZFI and over 1,000 icebergs near the western coast of Novaya Zemlya. For all the areas of the Russian Arctic studied in the period 2012–2022 an increase was noted in the maximum observed sizes of icebergs calving from glaciers. The largest iceberg, whose length was 5 km, broke off in 2020 from the Matusevich ice shelf.

The current view of the geographical ranges of lichens is often distorted by overly narrow or overly broad applications of names and by insufficient survey of most regions of the world. Here we present several cases where species of Teloschistaceae formerly thought to be limited to rather small territories in the western or eastern parts of Eurasia are in fact widespread in northern Eurasia. We support our findings with ITS nrDNA data in several new trees showing relationships in the genera Athallia , Calogaya , Caloplaca , Flavoplaca and Gyalolechia . The widespread species have little in common, except that most of them reproduce both sexually and asexually, and we discuss the possible influence of the combined reproduction on geographical range. Calogaya bryochrysion , Calogaya saxicola , Gyalolechia epiphyta and Gyalolechia ussuriensis are new combinations. Calogaya alaskensis is a younger synonym for C. bryochrysion . The generally arctic-alpine Calogaya bryochrysion also occurs on the bark of solitary trees in dry parts of the Altai Mountains. The Australian Flavoplaca cranfieldii is a younger synonym of F. flavocitrina . Gyalolechia epiphyta has been described numerous times, from different regions and substrata, as Caloplaca juniperi , C. laricina , C. tarani , Gyalolechia arizonica and G. juniperina . The name Gyalolechia xanthostigmoidea has recently been used for G. epiphyta , but it represents a distinct taxon. Gyalolechia ussuriensis is closely related to and morphologically indistinguishable from G. persimilis , but they have a different ecology and distribution and we regard them as distinct species. Caloplaca juniperina Tomin is lectotypified.

The lichen species of the genus Thamnolia , with their striking wormlike thalli and frequent occurrence in arctic and tundra environments, have often been debated with regard to the use of chemistry in lichen taxonomy. Phylogenetic studies have arrived at different conclusions as to the recognition of species in the genus, but in a recent study based on the analyses of six nuclear markers (genes or noncoding regions) of a worldwide sample of Thamnolia , we showed the existence of three well-supported lineages with two different chemistries and geographical distributions. Here, we present two analyses based on ITS and three markers, respectively, which were extended from the study mentioned above to include type specimens and additional Thamnolia strains and taxa. In these analyses the same three clades were retrieved. A putative DEAD-box helicase is used here for the first time as an informative phylogenetic marker to provide taxonomic resolution at species level. The distribution of morphological and chemical characters across the phylogeny was analyzed and it was concluded that three morphologically cryptic, but genetically well supported, species occur: T. vermicularis s. str., T. subuliformis s. str. and T. tundrae sp. nov. Thamnolia vermicularis s. str. contains individuals with uniform secondary chemistry (producing thamnolic acid) and a rather limited distribution in the European Alps, Tatra Mts and the Western Carpathians, a distribution which might result from glacial survival in an adjacent refugium/refugia. Thamnolia subuliformis s. str. is widely distributed in all hemispheres and the samples contain two chemotypes (either with thamnolic or squamatic acids). Thamnolia tundrae is described as new; it produces baeomycesic and squamatic acids, and has a distribution limited to the arctic tundra of Eurasia extending to the Aleutian Islands in North America. It may have survived the latest glaciation in coastal refugia near its present distribution. Thus, secondary chemistry alone is not suitable for characterizing species in Thamnolia , secondary chemistry and geographical origin are informative, and the ITS region can be confidently used for species recognition. Nomenclatural notes are given on several other names that have been used in Thamnolia .
