Hemeroby assessment of the flora of the north-western part of the Altai-Sayan province

Abstract

Based on the regional flora studied by the authors (north-western part of the Altai-Sayan floristic province, subdivided into 13 operational botanical-geographical regions), an assessment of the degree of transformation of territories at the level of large units of the rank of botanical-geographical regions according to the structure of hemeroby tolerance of their floristic composition was made. This study revealed a rather close relationship between the distribution of species by ecological-coenotic groups and hemeroby classes. These indicators can be used for floristic zoning and assessing the level of anthropogenic transformation of flora.
