Summary/Abstract: Floristic composition of the grass and phytocenotic activity of species in the floodplain forest were studied in the Prysamar’ya region. It is ascertained that investigated phytocenosis has characteristic signs of the floodplain forest: in the spectrum of biomorphes the hemicryptophytes and vegetatively mobile species are prevalent. At the same time among ecomorphs the mesophytes, mesotrophes, heliosciophytes and silvantes are usual. The results of phytoindication analysis confirmed the favourable ecological conditions for the forest geobiocenoses forming. The grass cover of the studied forest ecosystem for the last 40 years remained stable enough: 70 % of the registered species in the past are found there. The typical silvantes are dominanted, but the index of the total projective cover is low.silvantes
