METHODS OF STUDYING NATURAL AND URBANIZED FLORA IN THE FOREST-STEPPE ZONE OF CENTRAL SIBERIA

Antipova Ekaterina Mikhailovna

The study of the natural flora of the northern forest-steppes of Central Siberia was based on the method of specific floras by A.I. Tolmachev (CF), which was proposed by him for the study of Arctic regions with low floristic knowledge. This method is more efficient and economical in contrast to the route method of research, has a high degree of representativeness, and, subject to a significant degree of study of flora and their approximate territorial equality, provides the principle of comparability of flora in comparative analysis. The Middle Siberian forest-steppes (Kansk, Krasnoyarsk and Achinsk) are experiencing a huge anthropogenic impact and the method of model allocations of the urbanized landscape by N.G. Ilminskikh (MV) was used to identify urban flora. The purpose of the work is to characterize the methods of studying natural and urban flora used in scientific research to identify flora in the conditions of the forest–steppe zone of Central Siberia. As a result of the study by the methods of CF and MV, information about 156 was obtained and processed
