Determination of the Degree of Pasture Factor Digression in the Communities of Environment Contact Sites (Some Methodological Approaches)

Abstract

This paper is concerning the problem of determining of the character of disturbance of plant communities under the influence of the pasture factors. There are methodological approaches for determining of the degrees of the digression of the plant communities based on qualitative and quantitative parameters of the structure of cenoses for different natural zones. However, there are no approaches and techniques for comprehensive (multifactor) assessment of the character of responses of vegetation to particular anthropogenic influences given the high contrast of the physico-geographical conditions of the territory. The paper discusses some results of preliminary comprehensive assessment of the disturbance of plant communities of the environment contact sites of the Baikal region as an example.
