Biological features of Nitraria sibirica Pall. and the structure of its coenopopulation (the Republic of Khakasia)

Abstract

The life form of Nitraria sibirica Pall. and the structure of its coenopopulation has been studied in natural conditions. Laboratory germination of seeds was investigated. Individuals build the life form of a hypogeogenic-geoxyle vegetative-mobile shrub. It is found that the coenopopulation is normal incomplete, the ontogenetic spectrum is of a centered type. The germination of seeds does not exceed 6 %.
