Published 2021 in Biosyst.

ABSTRACT

Valery Taliev (1872-1932) was one of the first natural scientists who investigated the importance of anthropogenic factors in the evolution and geographic distribution of higher plants. He outlined major parameters of the origin and spreading of weed plants, of the flora of riverbanks, and proposed a direct role of man in changing the balance between forests and steppes. In his evolutionary views, Taliev emphasized the significance of parallel series of changes and of the directed evolution in several groups of higher plants as well as of geographic heterogeneity of plant species.
