Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Development patterns for vegetation on the Novo-Caspian plain are established on the basis of the study of spatiotemporal series. Three types of primary successions have been recognized, i.e., psammosere, halosere, and meadow sere, which differ in environmental conditions, regular features of temporal dynamics, and formation stages. The stages of the succession were identified on the basis of environmental and physiognomic properties of the dominants of vegetation communities.
