Species structure of plant groupings in the shallow coastal zone of piedmont lake Bolshoe Miassovo (Southern Urals)

Abstract

The specific flora of temporary plant groupings in the lake coastal areas during the periodic shallowing has been investigated. The structure of ecological groups in respect to humidification, life forms, and phytocoenotic groups has been analyzed as the aggregate of various plant-life strategies under dramatic changes in the environment. The spatial distribution of the species and long-term dynamics of the floristic complex have been found to be dependent on the soil type.
