Abstract

In the paper the results of own research of distribution of Arnica montana L. in Zakarpattia Region (Ukraine) and geobotanical characteristics of this species associations are presented. The species in Transcarpathia has a wide vertical distribution range: from 400-500 m above sea level to 1980 m above sea level. The square of different populations can range from 0.1-0.2 hectares to several hectares. A special attention is given to the floristic composition, structure, and ecological properties of arnica in the Transcarpathia. The associations with the participation of arnica are mostly meadows and less often, shrubs and bushes. Arnic coenoses are not rich, and they are characterized as communities of 18-25 plant species.
