Abstract:It has been found that a succession leads from therophyte communities through herb-grasslands to juniper-aspen brushwoods and pine woods, and lasts about 60-70 years. Eight phases of development of vegetation and of juniper populations were distinguished and synchronized. The sex structure and sex ratio in juniper populations were found to change under the influence of the factors occurring during the succession. An overcrowding in a juniper population, accompanied by a changed community structure, impedes the growth of individuals and delays by 10-15 years the starting of generative reproduction by the whole generation. A conclusion has been formulated concerning the role of dioecism in pioneer woody species in the process of colonization.
