Abstract
Connections between the vegetation zone boundaries and some climatic indexes are discussed. Possible changes of the boundaries of vegetation subzones at the territory of European Russia and West Siberia are predicted within the framework of one of the scenarios of global warming. The revealed regularities allow us to propose a mathematic-cartographical model of vegetation zonality for the period of 2046–2065.
