The Living Ground Cover of Mountain Tundra in the Northern and Southern Urals During an Invasion of Juniperus sibirica
In this work, the authors estimate the species abundance and the characteristics of ground cover (herb-dwarf-shrub and moss-lichen layers) structure in mountain tundra communities. They study mountain tundra communities that have significant differences in the degree of Juniperus sibirica Burgsd cov...
