Abstract

Publication of S.M.Razumovsky collection works (including some unknown articles) shows his theoretical legacy for current vegetation science. Concepts of S.M.Razumovsky are in the frame of organismic paradigm. He believed that plant communities and associations are natural and continuum concept is only the result of methodical mistakes. Monoclimax (in the meaning of F.Clements) was considered by Razumovsky as the fundamental low of vegetation. Now these theses are very doubtful, but some of his ideas (succession systems, cenophyllous and cenofobous species, the principle and experience of vegetation regionalisation on the base of floristic criteria) are very useful for current vegetation science .
