Podillia meadow steppes in ecological continuum of the European part of the Eurasia Steppe region

The results of synphytoindication estimation of parameters of climatic and edaphic factors are presented. They characterize meadow-steppe areas of north-western part of Podillya within the limits of the Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk region. Differentiative influence of each ecological factor is determined in figuring out the investigated objects’ position in the coordinates’ system of ecotopic features in steppe ecosystems of East-Europe forest-steppe and Prychornomorska (Pontychna) steppe provinces. A certain role of ecological factors in forming the specific meadow steppes’ position of Podillya in the ecological continuum of European part of the Eurasia Steppe region is defined
