Laboratory of Flora and Geobotany
Head: dr. VALERIJUS RAŠOMAVIČIUS
The main research area is the diversity, structure, state and development of Lithuanian flora and vegetation. Scientific investigations are focused on:
- syntaxonomic structure of Lithuanian vegetation, distribution of its components in ecosystems and in the territory of the country (‘Vegetation of Lithuania’ is being published);
- narrowly delimited critical, stenotopic and stenochoric taxa of Lithuanian flora (a compendium ‘Flora of the Baltic Countries’);
- natural and anthropogenic dynamics of Lithuanian vegetation (vegetation monitoring, protected species, territories valuable in botanical aspect, adventive flora);
- Lithuanian botanical terminology;
- maintenance and emendation of the Herbarium collections of the Institute of Botany (BILAS).
