Ecological and phytocenotic characteristics of plant communities of Nitraria schoberi L. in Dagestan

Abstract

For the first time, an ecological-phytocenotic classification of communities of Nitraria schoberi L., widespread in the territory of the Republic of Dagestan has been developed. 29 geobotanical descriptions were carried out on sample plots (SP) taking into account the floristic composition, as a result of which 7 formations, 14 groups of associations and 27 associations were identified. In the course of research, 179 species of higher vascular plants were identified in communities with the participation of Nitraria schoberi. The largest was the Nitrarieta schoberi formation with 7 groups of associations and 14 associations, in which 128 species of vascular plants grow.
