Principles of creation of the artificial plant communities

Exhibits of the botanical gardens are artificially created plant communities (phytocoenoses). They do not replicate natural plant communities, but follow the logic of their organization. Unlike the natural ones, artificial plant communities can be supported by replanting of plants in their reproductive period; their mosaic structure (overgrowth of certain types) is adjusted by the gardeners; stable exterior decorativeness is supported by additional care (watering, weeding, fertilizing).
