RESERVE STEPPE ECOSYSTEMS SELF-ORGANIZATION FROM THE SYNERGETIC POINT OF VIEW
Synergistic notions of complex systems self-organization penetrate today in a wide variety of research areas. In this paper we try to explain the transformation of steppe vegetation and protected meadow-steppe ecosystems, manifested in the inversion of herbaceous communities dominated by «typical» steppe species and wood phytocoenostructures using the main provisions of synergy. Studies conducted on polygons of steppe reserves in Ukraine and Russia represents different typological variants of steppes: the northern fields and grass-fescue-feather grass steppes located in Ukraine and European part of Russia.
