Description of phytocenoses with biomass estimation at different successional stages of forest ecosystem development of the Central-Forest State Natural Biosphere Reserve

The article presents data on the assessment of different-aged phytocenoses at five succession stages in the Centra-Forest State Natural Biosphere Reserve (CFSBR) of the Tver region with regard to relative abundance based on the values of the smallest distances between species and their occurrence on the Drude scale, with estimation of projective cover of ground vegetation, stand crown closure and calculation of ground vegetation biomass using the slash-weight method.
