Annotation
Materials of long-term (1977–2006) periodic studies of Donbass steppe associated with large-scale (1 : 5000) mapping of main index-plots of Provalskaya Steppe Nature reserve (Department of Lugansk Nature Reserve of the NAS of Ukraine), profiling, collections of standard relevés and processing of synphytoindication characteristics in statics and dynamics are represented. Significant diversity of steppes of Donetsk ridge in demutational and preservation changes is observed. There was an improvement of almost all quantity indicators in communities over a relatively short period of time (29 years). The structure of phytocoenoses has changed after the exogenous disturbances have stopped. That is regarded as autogenetic reconstruction of lost components of forest-steppe enclave reflecting homeostatic tendency to the formation of lignose quota of self-stabilizing landscape phytosystems.
Key words: vegetation maps, cartographic monitoring, ecobiomorfological community structure, vegetation changing, Donetsk ridge
