Abstract:
Materials have been generalized that were accumulated in population-ontogenetic studies of plants and leading features of the ontogeny of plants have been noted that determine specific structural features of their populations. The described patterns allowed the authors to develop simulation models of plant population dynamics. The results of simulation are provided, and they are compared to the empirical data. Problems have been considered that concern the influence of specific features of development of different plant biomorphs on the genetic structure of populations and biocoenotic processes.
