Abstract
The mosaic of spatial locations of Soldanella hungarica Simonk. is investigated in the ecotones at the boundary between the subalpine and forest plant belts of the Carpathian mountains. It is shown that in extreme cases the nonuniform group arrangement and limited participation of the individuals of high vitality create more possibilities for seed reproduction and stable renewal of generations in local accumulations, but al the same time hinder the formation of the integrated uninterrupted population field of S. hungarica in Carpathian ecotones.
