Species intrazonality and the dependence of cave species’ composition on geographic location were considered. The aim of present study was to identify similar caves of different regions based on the species composition of phototrophic communities using own data and data from literature. The empiric basis for investigation was present by phototropic species lists of own studies conducted by standard methods for phototropic species identification, as well as species lists from literature. The most frequently encountered phototrophs were species Chroococcus minutus and Chlorella vulgaris. Their occurrence in all the studied caves was revealed based on the taxonomic analysis. Thus, the intrazonal nature of the flora developed in grotto type caves is partially confirmed. Cluster analysis applying Euclidean distance was used to estimate similarity of the phototrophic communities developed in grotto caves of various genesis. Four clusters were identified: cretaceous caves of the Voronezh region; limestone grottoes of Ukraine and Abkhazia; monastic cells of Moldova and Ukraine; caves of Italy and Hungary. The dependence of the phototrophs biodiversity on the composition of the rocks and the genesis of the cavities was established. The geographical trend of photosynthetic species distribution in the grotto type caves was revealed.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">В статье обсуждается экологическая значимость сообществ фототрофов входной зоны пещер гротового типа как экотонов и рефугиумов. Рассматривается вопрос интразональности видов в составе таких сообществ и зависимость видового состава от географического положения пещеры. Целью данной работы было выявление сходных пещер различных регионов на основе видового состава сообществ фототрофов на основе собственных данных и данных из источников литературы. Проанализированы списки видов собственных исследований, проведенных по стандартным методикам выявления видового состава альгофлоры и бриофлоры, а также списки видов из источников литературы. На основании таксономического анализа установлены виды, встречающиеся во всех исследованных пещерах: Chroococcus minutus и Chlorella vulgaris . Таким образом, отчасти подтверждается интразональный характер флоры входных участков пещер-гротов. Выявлено четыре кластера: меловые пещеры Воронежской области; известняковые гроты Украины и Абхазии; кельи Старого Орхея и кельи Бакотского монастыря; пещеры Италии и Венгрии. Установлена зависимость биоразнообразия фототрофов от состава пород, географического положения и генезиса полостей.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>cyanobacteria</kwd><kwd>algae</kwd><kwd>hypogean habitats</kwd><kwd>grottoes</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>цианобактерии</kwd><kwd>водоросли</kwd><kwd>подземные местообитания</kwd><kwd>гроты</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Prous X, Lopes Ferreira R, Jacobi CM.
