Abstract
The history of the concept of the “plant community” (PC) and the debate on its nature, which took place in the 20th century. Most modern scholars accept the pragmatic interpretation of the PC as a conditionally uniform contour extracted from the multidimensional continuum of any type of vegetation. This broad interpretation of the plant community required of a multimodel concept with the establishment of several types that differ by the combination of their formation factors. A review of the main PC features (the composition, structure, and functional parameters), as well as the contribution of heterotrophic organisms to its formation, are given.
