Formation of invariant structure of forest phytocenoses in natural forests of Teberdinsky state reserve

Using a methodology of information analysis based on a probabilistic approach, integral measures of communication between components of forest phytocenoses are obtained. A spatiotemporal analysis of measures of connections between environmental factors and the structure of forest communities made it possible to establish the degree of their interaction in the gradients of the mountain territory of the Teberdinsky reserve. The result of the study shows the basic principles for the formation of biological diversity of mountain countries and can be considered as a mechanism for improving the system of geoecological monitoring of vegetation cover.
