Keywords: ecosystem, vegetation, spatial differentiation, West Siberia, cluster analysis
Pages: 311-323

Abstract >>
On the basis of the data on the air-dry mass of plant species - dominants and subdominants in five life forms (mosses, lichens; herbs; subshrubs; shrubs; trees), quotients of similarity for ecosystems were calculated over the types of formations in the map Vegetation of the West Siberian Plain. By means of the cluster analysis of thus obtained similarity matrix, two classifications were compiled (over apportionments and over groups of apportionments of the indicated map). The calculated self-descriptiveness of the proposed schemes, estimated by the value of included dispersion, is higher by 11-16 % in comparison with division of vegetation on the initial map.

Pages: 325-330

Abstract >>
Cluster anàlysis of ecosystems over the plant cover, mortmass and the underground part of the biota (including soil humus) showed that the effects of zonal heat supply and wetting (swamping) may be considered to be approximately equal to each other for the differentiation of vegetation, while the effect of swamping obviously dominates for the underground part of ecosystems. Intra-type differences of the underground block are determined by the zonal-subzonal inhomogeneity in heat and humidity supply, composition of vegetation and flood during high water. In this situation, there is no clear coincidence with the subzonal division. Integration has more likely group character (with respect to this index) for similar flood during high water and the composition of forest-forming species.

Pages: 331-339

Abstract >>
Conditions of the rise and development of fire events and evaluation of forest fire statistics are presented for the ribbon-like pineries of the south of Siberia - Tsacucheisky, Balgazynsky, Minusinsky and Shushensky. The consequences of the effect of fire events on vegetation, including the state of tree stands and reafforestation processes, are evaluated. It is demonstrated that a decrease in the area occupied by ribbon-like pineries in the south of Siberia as a result of the impact from crown fire brings about steppe formation processes at these territories

Pages: 405-413

Abstract >>
Traumatic effect on plants under ground fire of different kinds is investigated. The classification of traumas of herbs, tree trunks and crowns, as well as other transformations caused by fire is given. Types of pyrogenic traumas are compared with the character of fire events and the degree of pyrogenic transformation of biocoenosis. The possibility to use them as indicators of the pyrogenic intensity, the state and trends of biocenosis transformations is determined.

Abstract >>
The living state and biological disease of the leaves of trees in the green areas of Syktyvkar are studied. Birch and poplar are dominant trees among 103 species. The living state of trees is evaluated in general as good. The rise of leave damage by sucking and gnawing insects and a decrease in the activity of miner insects and gall forming agents are observed. We detected 56 species of arthropods, including ten new ones for Komi Republic.

Population and Subpopulation Dynamics of Soldanella hungarica Simonk. in Spruce Forests of the Karpaty

Keywords: population, subpopulation locus, vitality, vital capacity
Pages: 447-452

Abstract >>
Regularities of the dynamics of naturalistic populations of Soldanella hungarica Simonk. in the spruce forests of the Ukrainian Karpaty are generalized on the basis of the results of long-term monitoring (1974-2009). It is proved that the size and vitalitent composition are major prerequisites of the asynchronous principle of functioning and the large amplitude of the dynamics of elements in subpopulation loci. The rate and scale of the local dynamics are smoothed out at the population level. Reversibility of population number and low amplitude of the dynamics with long-term cycles of natural substitution of the generations are characteristic of the populations. It is suggested that the use of the term «small population» is incorrect with respect to subpopulation loci.
