Results of the ecological analysis of vegetational cover of Upper-Dnister Basin in Jalynkuvate, Busovysko, Kolodruby villages, Lviv province are presented. Ellenberg’s scales are used to determine ecological indices of plant species in relation to light and thermal conditions, continentality, humidity, acidity, salinity and contant of mineral nitrogen in soils. Main ecological factors that influence the processes of formation and differentiation of vegetational cover are defined.


Keywords: vegetational cover, ecological indices, urbanization, Dnister.
