Abstract
The article presents the results of the study of the spatial organization of the areal structure of the flora of the Argun River basin. The geographical elements present in the study area are listed. Based on the analysis of the influence of abiotic conditions and anthropogenic factors on the areal structure of the flora of the Argun River basin, wide‐areal (Palearctic, Pan‐ ancient Mediterranean, Pluriregional), narrow‐areal Caucasian, and Adventive geoelements were selected, the representation of which has information value in assessing the degree of unification, specificity and anthropogenic transformation of the flora.
It is noted that the areal structure of local floras of the Argun River basin largely depends on natural and climatic conditions and has great information value for assessing the anthropogenic transformation of ecosystems. Along the altitudinal gradient, the degree of specificity of the flora of the study area increases (representation of the Caucasian geoelement), which is most pronounced in highland conditions. Under the influence of human activity, as well as in the conditions of the temperature and water regime of the plain‐foothill territories, there is a unification of the flora of the Argun River basin (distribution of wide‐range species) and a significant increase in the representation of adventive species.
