ECOREGIONAL ANALYSIS OF INULA L. TURKUM SPECIES BASED ON GEOREFERENCED DATA
Keywords:
Inula L., ecological regions, georeferenceAbstract
Ecological regions are one of the important factors determining the geographical distribution of plant species. In particular, the conducted analyses showed that the species belonging to the genus Inula are unevenly distributed across the ecoregions of Central Asia. Based on the results of the ecoregion-based analysis, it was determined that Inula species are distributed in 8 ecoregions of Central Asia at different altitude ranges. Also, within the framework of this study, the distribution characteristics of species belonging to the genus Inula across different ecoregions, their ecological adaptation, and the trends in the reduction of the ranges of some species were scientifically assessed.
