The floristic composition and the community structure of pristine old-growth stone-birch forests were
studied in the Bannaya and Bystraya river basins (Ust' -Bolsheretsk region). The mean age of the tree-layer
was 200-250 years, the age of the eldest birch trees - up to 350 years. Due to the tree-layer of different ages
and the presence of decaying fallen trees the composite spatial structure is formed. It determines the considerable
variability of microsites that is the cause of the high species …
