The book represents results of 20 years' worth of ecological
investigation of alpine ecosystems in the Northwest Caucasus. Plant
geographical description of the area, syntaxonomy, spatial
patterns, floristic richness, structure of plant communities in
relation to soil properties and herbivore influence were described
for a mountain region that is difficult to access. Seasonal,
inter-annual, and long-term dynamics of vegetation are discussed on
the base of long-term observations as well as pollen and phytolith
analyses. Population biology of alpine plants is studied by
combination of field observations and mathematical modelling. Plant
population strategies and soil seed banks are described for alpine
plants from several communities. Results of long-term ecological
experiments (plant reciprocal transplantations, dominant removals,
light limitation) showed the significance of competition and
facilitation for community organization. Structure of soil algal
and fungal communities is represented as well as mycorrhiza of
alpine plants. Main animal groups (wild) history and modern nature
conservation problems are discussed. The book will be of interest
to plant ecologists, botanists, biogeographers, soil scientists,
zoologists, soil microbiologists, naturalists and nature
conservation managers dealing with high mountain ecology.
