Abstract

The ecotopes of Actaea erythrocarpa Fisch. cenopopulations are characterized according to five of Tsyganov’s scales using bioindication methods. The morphological polyvariation of vegetative organs appears as elongation of the A. erythrocarpa shoot metameric units under different ecological conditions. As has been shown, the biometric characteristics of A. erythrocarpa individuals depend on the ontogenetic state and habitat.
