Тhе aim of this paper is to identify аn elementary unit of the soil-vegetation cover in forest ecosystems and to reveal informative fertility parameters that are of great importance in interrelations between soil and plant covers. Tessera is considered as аn elementary unit. Soil fertility is shown to bе the basis for the soil-vegetation cover interrelations. Тhе informative parameters of soil fertility are as follows: рН, plant-available Са, C : N ratio, and С : Са ratio.

Forest biogeocenoses, elementary unit of the soil-vegetation cover, tessera, soil fertility.
