Aggregated and group-aggregated spatial structure of two Adonis vernalis (L.) populations in xerothermic grasslands are presented. It has been found that different disturbances (grazing, fire), which affect each population, modify morphological properties and developmental potential of individuals. This is followed by differentation in spatial and age structure of both populations. Comparative analysis of above- and below-ground plant organs of Adonis vernalis has enabled to present hierarchical spatial structure of aggregations and clumps as a result of modular structure of individuals and populations
