Annotation

The meadows of the north-western part of the Kuznetsk Ala Tau belong to the association Carici ovalis—Deschampsietum cespitosae. The association is distributed in the forest belt in the humid areas of the Altay, Salair, and Kuznetsk Ala Tau. Two new sub­associations, C. o.—D. c. cirsietosum heterophylli and C. o.—D. c. amorietosum repentis, represent the two subsequent stages of the anthropogenic digression. The true meadows of the ass. Carici ovalis—Deschampsietum cespitosae are distinctly, both physiognomically and floristically separated from the tall-herb commu­nities; the «nucleus» of diagnostic species of the latter is common with the hemiboreal dark-coniferous moun­tain forest.
