ABOUT THE CONNECTION BETWEEN EPIMORPHOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF HIGH-MOUNTAIN PLANTS AND THE VOLUME OF REALIZED ECOLOGICAL NICHE AND LIFE STRATEGIES IN CERTAIN ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
The connection of epimorphological structure with ecological strategies and reproduction features of plants in extreme high-mountain conditions is considered in the article. There is shown, that the approaching to the ecotopic limit furthers the growth of life forms diversity and plants sizes.
Keywords: high-mountain (alpine) plants, life form, ecotop, thermal regime of plant, ecological niche, ecological strategies, spatial strategies, reproduction strategies
