Contemporary Problems of Ecology Aims and scope

Abstract

The condition of cenopopulations of the relict of nemoral (Pliocene) flora Menispermum dauricum DC. is considered. Three new habitats of the species are found in Western Transbaikalia. It is shown that, although the species is an ecotopic patient, local cenopopulations on mountain-steppe slopes are influenced by destructive exogenous geomorphological processes.
