Abstract
On the basis of the climate and vegetation database at the territory of Siberia, cluster analysis helped to reveal four clusters, i.e. geographic and climatic versions of the light coniferous grass forests (subtaiga). The leading climatic factors determining the boundaries between the clusters were revealed, the intracluster community and differences between clusters in the composition of forest-forming species were investigated. The revealed clusters were compared with the previously proposed versions outlined on the basis of vegetation.
