State of Medicago falcata L. cenopopulations under conditions of Central Yakutia: variability of morphological characters and survival strategy

Variability, plasticity and survival strategy of Medicago falcata L. cenopopulations in Central Yakutia have been studied. The high level of variability of resource morphological characters and of morphological plasticity amplitude of the specimens is stated. For the plants growing in Nyurbunsky Ulus the stress-protective ontogenetic strategy has been revealed, while the plants in Yakutsk vicinities feature protective-stress strategy.
