Abstract
A structural-functional modeling of the mountainous physical-geographical country has been carried out, based on its conceptual representation as an oroclimatic system. The study revealed a statistically reliable mapping of phytobiota productivity onto the coordinates of a multidimensional ecological space, i.e. the mountain morphostructure, hydrothermics and zonal-regional structure of vegetation cover.
