A. A. Dymov, S. V. Zagirova, T. I. Marchenko-Vagapova The Formation of Spruce Biogeocenoses in the Polar Urals // Forest Science (Lesovedenie). 2011. No 5. С.12-22. The data on the state of a unique spruce forest in the Polar Urals are represented. The diversity of spruce phytocenoses developed on cryometamorphic humus-enriched gley soils and illuvial-humus-iron podzols is shown. The results of the palynological analysis confirm the fact that spruce has been growing from the middle of the Subatlantic period. They also characterize the main developmental stages of soils and vegetation in the territory studied. The maintenance of the spruce biogeocenosis during the Late Holocene may be related to the microclimatic conditions, properties of the parent rocks, and the location of this area at the lower accumulative part of the range slope. Polar Ural, spruce forest ecosystem, palynological analysis, soil genesis. |
