Geobotanical descriptions were carried out on 16 model sites in the upper reaches of the Baksan and Malka rivers along with the southern and northern spurs of mount Elbrus. Despite the differences in species composition and structure of ecological spectra, the reaction of mountain meadow plant communities of regions to increase anthropogenic load is similar. More significant negative changes and higher synanthropization levels of disturbed meadows in the Southern Elbrus region are probably due to the different history of economic development of the two regions.
Keywords: mountain meadow plant communities, Southern and Northern Elbrus region, anthropogenic load, geobotanical descriptions.
