Abstract

Based on original field data alpine vegetation classification and legend of vegetation map were developed. On basis on ultrahigh resolution satellite imagery vegetation map was drawn up. Mapping units are both homo- and heterogeneous. Ratio of forming components were calculated. Five types of vegetation combinations were distinguished. All of them were caused by physical processed. Upper tree line only one subalpine altitudinal vegetation belt are characterized for Tukuringra mountain Range. There are three altitudinal-climatic stripes: sparse birch woodlands, Pinus pumila communities and mountain tundra’s.
