metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The flora of two towns and two settlements in the northern taiga and foresttundra
  of Northwest Siberia (Russia) are considered. Urban species lists are
  limited (61–119 vascular plant species) and mainly consist of native species with
  a predominance of perennial herbs. Various urban functional zones (industrial,
  residential, recreational, vegetable patches) differ by species composition, and
  this difference increases in the course of city development. In the industrial
  zone, vegetation composition is closer to the native flora, because of the low
  number of adventive species. Maximal diversity is due to decorative plants, cultivars
  and southern weed distribution, and is typical to residential neighborhoods.
  Species diversity increases mainly because of woody plants introduction.
  Alien species are represented generally by a small number of individuals.
  The severe climate and poor soils limit their abilities to spread in the Far North.
  Urbanization forces the reduction of aboriginal biodiversity, but in northern
  areas where native species have the adaptive advantage, this effect is minimal.
  Changes in flora since 1995 were analyzed in the town of Novy Urengoy
  (Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia). Plant diversity increased by about
  20 % in all functional zones, although some alien and natural species were not
  recorded in 2018.
