【 摘 要 】

In the present paper we have addressed the issue of identification of mud volcanic activity based upon the vegetation, its structure and dynamics, as well as the structural peculiarities of woody plants. The study was conducted using an integrated approach which includes: the description of vegetation and the structural analysis of woody plants that grow at various distances from the eruptive centre of the volcano. The obtained data on the vegetation suggest that the Yuzhno-Sakhalinsky mud volcano is a far more extensive landscape feature that it was considered before, with an eruptive centre which changes its location every 150-300 years.
