Records of plant species in Ukraine according to authorized Internet resources

This information is crucial for assessing the impacts of the Russian-Ukrainian war and therefore primarily includes plant data from Ukraine’s steppe zone, which since 2022 has been almost entirely affected by military operations or has fallen under occupation. Scientific research in this area has ceased, and the territory has suffered extensive destruction due to shelling, airstrikes, construction of fortifications, and wildfires.

In addition, invasive plant species have begun to spread spontaneously throughout the region. All previously collected biodiversity information from these territories has now become historical and can be used in the future to assess the consequences of the war. There is also an urgent need to preserve the data themselves.
