The structure of vegetation of thermal fields is considered as mosaic structure with distinct sections of belt structure. Ecological series of phytocoenosises formed along a complex gradient of intensity of hydrothermal influence are established. Time dynamics of a temperature field is considered on the basis of long-term supervision. Features of various habitats in territory of a thermal field are quantitatively described. The ecological model of a zone complex is offered.
