The paper contains a brief description of the “Jezo spruce with Rhododendron aureum” forest sites, situated in various regions of the Russian Far East. The main edificator there is the Jezo spruce and the main species in the undergrowth is Rhododendron aureum. There were also detected some auxiliary co-dominant species, which composition depends not only on altitude, slope’s exposition and steepness, humidity and drainage level, but also on the geographical region. The paper raises the question about subdividing this forest type on variants, depending on the forest growing conditions, trees and undergrowth composition. A rare variant of this forest, growing on a mountain plateau, was also characterized within this paper, its trees layer dynamics was studied within the conditions of unstable climate.
Key words: dark coniferous forests, forest types, Picea jezoensis, Rhododendron aureum, mountain plateau.
