Zusammenfassung

For reasons of comparability, all studies are carried out in forests of Siberian larch (Larix sibirica) of the Altay-Khangay-Sayan ecoregion. With the help of tree-ring analyses, forest regeneration before and after the onset of the political and economic transformation process is studied at the forest-steppe borderlines of either country. Furthermore, plots varying in the distance to the forest line and in the mean of annual precipitation are included in the sampling design and examined both for forest regeneration and (with selected groups of organisms) for 3 biodiversity.
