The moss cover of forests in an 50×36 km area around the Middle-Ural Copper Smelter was analyzed after almost complete reduction its emissions. It has been shown that communities low and high pollution zones differ significantly composition, number frequency species, but are characterized by a similar ground mosses. most species zones, compared to decreased. A significant increase gradient found for Pohlia nutans only. Species loss expressed more strongly on mesoscale (species richness...
During the last 100 years, rapid advances of trees towards higher elevations and latitudes have been recorded for various regions worldwide, including Ural Mountains. Climate warming tree cover increases can lead to significant changes in high-mountain vegetation. Direct observations on vegetation provide evidence an increase species diversity plants at high composition alpine communities. This study investigated distribution vascular within present-day treeline ecotone Mount Iremel,...
