Plants growing in areas with steep gradients of air and soil temperature and moisture are known to be highly sensitive to climate change. The rise of temperatures and changes in precipitation regime observed in many regions of the world may result in significant transformations in the structure of plant communities. Therefore, analysis of processes taking place in transitional zones (ecotones) between forest and tundra or forest and steppe communities is a highly important aspect of studies on the responses of terrestrial ecosystems to climate change.
