Abstract
Progressive succession of plant communities has been studied in cutover areas of bilberry-green moss forests of the alliance Dicrano-Pinion in the central upland part of the Southern Urals. The results are presented concerning the alpha-diversity and phytosociological spectrum of communities at different stages of succession.
