Abstract
Spatial variations in soil properties under four alpine plant communit ies are studied. With an increase in the distance between the points o f soil sampling from 1 to 7 m, the differences in soil properties rema in the same. Averaged characteristics of soil properties under differe nt plant communities do not uniquely correlate with variance of these properties. A correlation between soil properties and the presence of particular plant species in phytocenoses is found only in a few cases.
