Annotation

Authors recognize the different kinds of vegetation dynamics in arid regions: natural, natural under anthropogenic influence, and anthropogenic one. Developing the ideas of V. B. Sochava, plant community successions in two first cases are referred to «ranges of development». These ranges are used as a basis for the legend of Map of Plant Community Dynamics in the South Pre-Aral region (scale 1 : 500 000). Changes in vegetation under anthropogenic impact are regarded to «ranges of transformations». The latter are used as the subordinate categories in the legend. The «series» of the plant communities are the main categories in legend. They are formed under different edaphic processes during the evolution of the arid landscapes or at the anthropogenic influence.
