Popis: This article shows that the number of biotic taxa in the region depends on the drought index. From the very beginning, in strict conformity with the drought index, the number of biotic taxa increases from tundra to the border of taiga and forest steppe, where it reaches its maximum, and then it decreases towards the steppe zone. The authors note that the interaction between the components of the biota is characterized by two basic indicators: degree of harmony H and stability Z. The analysis of the state of biotic systems based on the use of these indicators clearly reflects the level and potential for their functioning. These results generally demonstrate the unity and interdependence of plants and animals and the dependence of both on climate.
