Project objectives

To reveal the biodiversity of vegetation of the swamps of various trophicity, storages of their vegetative matter and its structure in the northern taiga of Western Siberia.

Expected results

A complete set of data will be obtained to characterise the storages of vegetative matter and species composition of vegetation of the swamps of various trophicity in the northern taiga, and the results characterising the ecosystems of the southern and northern taiga will be compared.
