Biological diversity dynamics in forest biological community at Western Siberia subtaiga ecological monitoring index plot

Abstract

This article presents results of a 2001-2021 research into an index plot forest biological community in the Western Siberia subtaiga zone (Tyumen Region, Russia), providing data on dynamics and biological diversity of vegetation cover, fungi and terrestrial vertebrate communities. The current research analyses the influence of climate and weather conditions of certain vegetation seasons and perennial climate trends pertaining to global processes, on biodiversity. Over the observation period as a whole, the xerophily of the forest ecosystem increased.
