Abstract
The results of long-term monitoring (1974–2014) of a model population of Homogyne alpinа (L.) Cass. (Asteraceae) during demutational changes on Carpathian subalpine meadows were summarized. Patterns of structural transformations and self-regulation princiрles of this population were determined. A special role of micropopulations in the formation of plant generations and preservation of heterogeneity of population elements was noted.
