Taxus cuspidata Amuriana schrenckii

         The rate of endemism both on the local and global levels proves to what extent the condition of indigenous biodiversity will be determined by long-term conservation measures.
         The main endemism center of the Far-Eastern ecoregion is located in its southern part. The overwhelming majority of the regional endemics belong to Priamursk-Manchzhur arealogical group. The highest content of provincial endemics among three model groups: arboreal plant, Diurnal Lepidoptera and birds is found at the area of broad-leaved forest prevailing. At the oceanside areas the share of endemics is also high in the territories adjacent to taiga and to southern dark coniferous forests.
