FEATURES OF VEGETATION STRUCTURE IN THE SUME MOUNTAIN AREA NEAR THE SHAGONAR STRETCH OF THE SAYANO-SHUSHENSKOYE RESERVOIR (REPUBLIC OF TUVA)
The paper concentrates on the results of vegetation structure studies in the Sume Mountain area near the Shagonar Stretch of the Sayano-Shushenskoye reservoir using the method of establishing their ecophytocoenotic profile. In close proximity to water''s edge ruderal vegetation communities are formed, further on from water''s edge they are replaced by indigenous steppe communities.
