Abstract
The article considers plant communities dominated by Rorippa amphibia, common in the floodplains of the Ob and Irtysh within the subzones of the southern and especially the middle taiga. They are described as an association Mentho arvensis-Rorippetum amphibiae Taran et Tyurin ass. nova (Phragmito-Magnocaricetea Klika in Klika et Novák 1941, Oenanthetalia aquaticae Hejný ex Balátová-Tuláčková in Mucina et al. 1993, Eleocharito palustris-Sagittarion sagittifoliae Passarge 1964). Ecology of the Mentho arvensis-Rorippetum amphibiae communities was studied in the middle reaches of the Ob River near the city of Surgut. In the model phytocoenosis observed for six years (1999—2004), the maximum spring flood height varied from 112 to 250 cm (176 cm on average), the duration of flooding varied from 61 to 90 days (72 days on average). Over four years of observations (1999—2002), the thickness of the annual silt in the model phytocoenosis varied from 6.5 to 12.5 cm (8 cm on average). The soil is assigned to the subtype of alluvial primitive (silty) meadow soils. According to the L. G. Ramensky environmental scales, the conditions of habitats in the coenoses of the association correspond to the following steps: moisture content, 95—98; moisture variability, 11—14; alluviality, 9—10; soil richness and salinity, 10—12.
Acknowledgments: The study was carried out within the framework of the project of the V. N. Sukachev Institute of Forest SB RAS no. 0287-2021-0009. V. N. Tyurin expresses his gratitude to Dr. Sci. A. I. Shepelev for his scientific guidance in describing the soil profiles in the meadows of the Ob River floodplain
