Forests biotopes of the regional natural monument "Chelyabinsk city pine forest"
The phytoindicational estimation of biotopes of forest ecosystems of the regional natural monument “Chelyabinsk city pine forest” is made. The principal abiotic factors in the formation of vegetation of pine forest are atmospheric and soil moisture and thermal regime, which are determined by relief, and illumination intensity related with the structure of the forest canopy. Biotopes of Chelyabinsk city pine forest do not differ practically on abiotic factors regimes, and diversity of forest ecosystems are determined by coenotic features of forest communities and intracoenotic biotic interactions. The forest types, identified by forestry methods, describe coenotic structure of pine forests vegetation only and has not used for abiotic factors estimation. More detailed researches and the classification of biotopes of pine forest have been necessary primarily on the basis of relief features.
