Abstract

Data on the action of animals on the vegetation cover of the Commander Islands are reported. Vegetation at the regions of arctic fox dens and seabird colonies is characterized; this vegetation is formed as a result of the transformation of the initial one. Often similar plant groups are formed. The features of the zoogenic vegetation of different origin at the Commander Islands are discussed; its comparison with the zoogenic vegetation in other regions of the Arctic and Subarctic are discussed.
