Independent young researcher from Belarus. Bryology (botany). I'm not a specialist or scientist. Enthusiast. I'm a student and have no such large experience, so I'll be thankful both to all who correct my mistakes and agree with right identified observations.
Languages: English, Russian, Belarusian. Understand Ukrainian and Polish.
