Trends in the Shift of the Forest and Tundra Borders in the Altay-Sayan Mountainous Region in Late Holocene

M. Yu. TELYATNIKOV, D. N. SHAULO

Abstract

A comparison of borderline communities of forest and tundra has been carried out by the indicators of activity and species abundance of their zonal groups. Some modern tendencies of shift of the forest-tundra border have been found in the Altay Sayan mountainous region. Trends of changes of climate have been followed up during the period of sub Atlantic phase of the Holocene, which found its reflection in six basic scripts. Each script corresponds to a climatically homogeneous region.
