Areas of altitudinal zonal forests of Tuva
УДК 581.526.42(571.52)
Abstract
Tuva is a mountainous region with a complex mosaic of relief, climate and vegetation distribution. Itis located within three bioclimatic sectors (semi-humid, semi-arid, arid) and one transition region (analogue of semiarid sector in semi-humid). Altitudinal zonal forests are native forests on mountain plakors in forest and forest-steppealtitudinal zones. In Tuva, their diversity is described as seven associations of floristic classification. Potential areas ofassociations were built using MaxEnt program based on 61 raster images comprising information about orographic,climatic and bioclimatic parameters. GPS-coordinates of 158 geobotanical descriptions of zonal forests made by N.I. Makunina became the data on the localities. Potential areas of altitudal zonal forests support concept of bioclimaticpartition of Tuva.
