Abstract

Development patterns for vegetation on the Novo-Caspian plain are established on the basis of the study of spatiotemporal series. Three types of primary successions have been recognized, i.e., psammosere, halosere, and meadow sere, which differ in environmental conditions, regular features of temporal dynamics, and formation stages. The stages of the succession were identified on the basis of environmental and physiognomic properties of the dominants of vegetation communities.
