Contemporary Problems of Ecology Aims and scope

Abstract

Correlations between the structure of phytocenoses representing different stages of the process of forest formation in the Polar Urals and moistening of ecotopes, as well as between the lower layers and forest tree stand are considered. Current density of trees and undergrowth is not exhaustive of the ecotope capacity, and therefore open woodland can be transformed into closed forest. Perspectives of such a transformation within a certain plot may be assessed by percentage of mesophilic and relatively thermophilic (hypoarctic + boreal) species in the herb-dwarf shrub layer.
