CONIOSELINUM TATARICUM Hoffm (APIACEAE) AND ITS COENOTIC POSITIONS IN SUBNEMORAL FORESTS OF THE SALAIR RIDGE

Ludmila Vladimirovna Volkova

Abstract


The structure of 11 coenopopulations (CP) of Conioselinum tataricum Hoffm (Apiaceae) in tall-herbaceosus phytocenosis of Salair ridge (south of West Siberia) was studied. The CP are generally of normal type. CP density is the highest in forest-tall-herbaceosus meadows. C. tataricum is the coenotical patient in plant communities. The biological and CP-stucture peculiarities show the low growth adaptation of C. tataricum in tall-herbaceosus phytocenosis of Salair.
