Native grasses interact spatially with themselves and their environment and can therefore be thought of as a system of dependent random variables. One method of modeling the spatial dependence of a multi-species population is a Gibbsian pairwise potential model. Since natural selection operates at the level of individual plants, the information obtained from such a model should provide a greate...

In the course of field research, analysis previously published works and review materials stored in well-known collection funds Siberia (NS, KRAS, SSHZ), information on distribution rare adventitious native plant species Upper Yenisei basin was clarified. For first time, Arctium lappa, Armoracia sisymbrioides, Bupleurum sibiricum, Calystegia sepium, Lolium perenne, Pastinaca sativa, Polygonum s...

The biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOC) emitted by the vegetation of a terrestrial ecosystem play a key role in both regional air quality and tropospheric chemistry. To describe the general emission properties of VOC of different plant functional groups (PFG) in a typical temperate grassland in Inner Mongolia, China, we randomly selected 175 plant species and measured the quantities of is...
