The Comparative Monitoring of Endem Rare and Endangered Trees and Shrubs in Azerbaijan

Abstract

Abstract-In research work are comparative analyzed rare and endangered trees and shrubs existed in Azerbaijan Republic natural flora, there are analyzed the factors that lead to the disappearance of the species, to the lead of species reduction and disappearance of total families, the risk categories have been identified and defined the solution ways of the problems. There are identified 6,000 species in comparative analysis of Azerbaijan flora. From them more than 1,600 species are trees and shrubs species. It is approximately 37.5% of the trees and bushes of total Azerbaijan flora. It was revealed that on the basis of monitoring 38 families, 63 genus, 188 species of trees and shrubs should be included in the category of rare and endangered species in the Azerbaijan dendroflora.They are evaluated the current protection status and recommended to be included to the "Red Book" classified by IUCN (2001) adopted categories version 3.1, by taxa classification using of APG III system.  Index Terms-flora biodiversity, plant species, Caucasus region, rare and endem species

The Research of the Radial Growth of the Flora Species which do not have Special Protection on the South Hillsides of Greater Caucasus

“…The main purpose of the research done in 2018 in ANAS Dendrology Institute, "Dendrochronolgy" laboratory is to biometrically analyze processes occurring in populations of rare species of natural and cultural flora, their dendrochronolgical analysis, the monitoring of the areas and prepare plan for assessing and protection of ecosystems (T.S Mammadov et al, 2016;Eugene A. et al, 1978;Shiyatov S.G., 2000). Scientific trips were organized during the research of the rare and scant flora species which do not have special protection in Zagatala Balaken region,the monitoring of the areas was conducted ecosystem was assessed, rare and extinct tree and bushes were identified, old and scant types were dendro-chronologically analysed and forecasts were given for these species.…”

New distribution areas of some species of plants on the southern part of the Caspian coast

“…The species has been recorded in Western Europe (Venturella et al, 2012). According to the published sources, the T. meyeri plant is found in Azerbaijan's Kur-Araz plain and Nakhchivan plain in sand dunes, riparian woodland, and river valleys (banks) (Flora of Azerbaijan, 1961;Askerov, 2005;Mammadov et al, 2014). The following morphological, systematic, and ecological traits apply to the geographical area of T. meyer, which belongs to the North-Iran type.…”
