Abstract
Long-term (1974-2009) monitoring of the regularities of sub-population arrangement of Soldanella hungarica Simonk. (Primulaceae) was performed in the plant community of Mugetum luzulosum in the Carpathian Mountains. The basic principles of the formation and dynamics of subpopulation loci were revealed. It was concluded that the non-uniformity of the illuminance of mountain pine elfin woodland causes the matrix of micro-habitats over which the subpopulation loci with their specific composition and dynamics are formed. Arguments in favor of the fact that the vital heterogeneity of loci is the most important prerequisite of the conservation of homeostasis vitality of naturalistic populations of plants are presented.
