Abstract

The Malguzar Ridge (Jizzakh Region, Uzbekistan) has been thoroughly studied in terms of its vegetation cover and flora. A total of 1237 plant species have been recorded in the area, with their distribution determined by altitudinal zones and slope exposure. On northern slopes, vegetation biomass increases from 2 to 7.5 t/ha, while on southern slopes it does not exceed 2.7 t/ha. Ephemerals and ephemeroids, perennial herbs, shrubs, and juniper stands form the main component of the regional flora. The article is devoted to the issues of sustainable use of plant resources and conservation of biological diversity.
