Abstract
Forest vegetation of northeastern Asia was studied, in particular in easternmost Russia, northeastern China, North Korea and northern Japan. Forest communities belonging to following classes have been differentiated: Vaccinio-Piceetea, Betulo ermanii-Ranunculetea japonici, Querco-Fagetea crenatae, Querco mongo-licae-Betuletea davuricae, Populetea laurifolio-suaveolentis, and Salicetea sachalinensis. Within of these classes, a total of 20 orders, 45 alliances, 174 associations, and 103 units without rank (communities, forest types, formations etc.) were also distinguished. The survey of syntaxa represents a first attempt towards consolidation of classification of forest vegetation in northeastern Asia and is therefore only preliminary.
