The paper describes the results of the study of the structure of Russian broom [Chamaecytisus ruthenicus (Fisch. ex Woloszcz.) Klaskova], a legume-family shrub, coenopopulations in the Mari El Republic. In this article, we determined its ecological valence and the species’ tolerance with respect to climatic and soil factors; ontogenesis and the ontogenetic structure of coenopopulations are also described.
