Abstract
This article will present the techniques and the various steps followed in the utilization of geobotanical indicators for geologic mapping of areas east of and adjacent to the Mugodzharskiye mountains. It was found that despite the apparent homogeneity of the plant cover on lithologically similar rocks, a geobotanical analysis reveals a number of fundamental differences. Even when the floristic composition of associations is the same, other differences are seen in quantitative ratios of species, in the occurrence of some species in the plant cover, and finally, in the development cycle of an association as a whole, or of its individual species. In many instances also considerable floristic differences are observed in the plant cover found on lithologically similar rocks. Differences in plant cover on lithologically similar formations result from the physical chemical properties of rocks, which in turn result from the origin of rocks, the conditions of their formation, and the depths of their occurrence. I...
