Abstract

This article presents the results of Castilleja lapponica Gand. populations status monitoring in the Lovozero mountain range. This species is recognised as protected in the region but is poorly studied due to its fragmented distribution, small population size, and limited natural habitat, which makes it difficult to conduct representative studies of population dynamics and ecological prerequisites for survival. The study provided data on the ontogenetic structure and effective population size of six Castilleja lapponica coenopopulations growing in different types of biotopes, including anthropogenically transformed ones, as well as recovery, effectiveness, and vitality indices. It has been established that all studied coenopopulations are characterised by an incomplete ontogenetic spectrum and an extremely low recovery index, which indicates an inability to self-sustain under current conditions. Despite the high density of specimens in habitats disturbed by human activity, a general trend towards a decline in abundance has been observed, compared to previously recorded data. The results obtained confirm the risks to Castilleja lapponica populations and indicate the need to develop targeted conservation strategies whilst considering its apophyte-specific renewal strategy.
