Abstract
Flora of the Akhshtyrskaya cave developing in lamplight conditions is investigated. Taxonomic analysis of species and measurement of invasion area are carried out. Formed communities are described, and dominant species are marked out. Correlation between taxonomic structure of invasions and geological and mineralogical properties of substrates are shown.
