The results of investigations of the development of primary syngenetic succession at river valleys have been done. Mesotrophic-oligotropic and hygrophytic-mesotrophic succession chains have been revealed. The development of these chains depends on specific ecological conditions. Formation of plant cover occures for account of successive changes of the species of various ecology -coecenotic strategies; it is accompanied by complications of the structure, growth of stability and productivity. Existence of different modifications of their development is conditioned by ecological conditions, availability and level of anthropogenic influence.


Keywords: succession, flora, vegetation, coecenocen.
