Spatial-typological differentiation of ecosystems of the West Siberian Plain. Communication V: Terrestrial ecosystems

Contemporary Problems of Ecology Aims and scope

Abstract

Results of classification of terrestrial ecosystems using an average similarity matrix are reported for the West Siberian Plain. Initial indices are first calculated separately for four components of an ecosystem. These components (blocks) include the underground block (soil humus, mortmass, and underground phytomass), above-ground vegetation, and invertebrates and vertebrates. Mismatch of boundaries in separate blocks of ecosystems and in comparison with the inhomogeneity of ecosystems in general was demonstrated. These differences are observed in both the typological and typological-chorological analysis. The indicated features of spatial succession within the blocks generate continuity of ecosystems and the conventional character of all the classifications and drawn boundaries.
