The Vegetation of Roadsides in Taiga and Tundra Zones of West Siberia
The natural colonization of roadsides is considered. Studied highway extends through the central and northern regions of West Siberian plane and crosses taiga and south tundra zones. Species composition of roadside communities includes 257 species of higher vascular plants, 8 species of mosses and 4...

Studied highway extends through the central and northern regions of West Siberian plane and crosses taiga and south tundra zones.
