Structure of aboveground phytomass of the dryad tundra of Tuva uplands

The total volume of aboveground phytomass (with mortmass) of the dryad tundra of Tuva uplands varies from 225,6 g/m2 to 894,8 g/m2 (oven dry weight), including phytomass - 189,7-707,4 g/m2, mortmass - 22,7-431,7 g/m2. In the phytomass structure we observe the dominance of bushes (89,5 to 376,1 g/m2, 194,2 g/m2 in average). The minimum volume of the aboveground phytomass less than 300,0 g/m2 and of bushes (118,4-186,9 g/m2) is observed in the dryad communities confined to ranges and uplands.
