Abstract
Small-scale pattern analysis of plant populations was done in nine forest communities of the Moscow region (USSR). In most cases the vegetatively immobile and low-mobile species were found to have less contagious distributions than vegetatively mobile species. In different communities one and the same species may display a different kind of pattern, though no relationship between the abundance of species and the kind of its spatial distribution could be identified. Ecological indicator values were used to obtain data on the variability of environmental parameters inside the communities. Environmental heterogeneity appears to be the major factor determining the kind of vascular plant pattern. The kind of distribution of bryophytes (as a rule, high-contagious) is insignificantly related to environmental heterogeneity.
