Abstract

Forests occupy 80-90 percent of the Sikhote-Alin mountain forest region. Cenotic and species diversity of its forest vegetation is the highest in Russia. In the Sikhote-Alin forests, about 200 species of trees and shrubs and 6 species of lianas grow; about 1,000-1,100 species of grassy plants and more than 450 species of mosses and lichens are registered.
