. The vegetation cover constitutes the composition of the biocenosis and reflects the changes
occurring in the natural environment as a result of human activity. Thus, plant communities are
subjected to degradation due to anthropogenic factors and technogenic impacts. /n this context, the
deterioration of the ecological condition of riparian forests leads to disruptions in the ecosystem
and necessitates the study of their phytosociological characteristics for the
conservation of the vegetation cover.Riparian forests characteristic of forest vegetation have
been studied in the Kura- Araxes lowland, as well as in the territory of the Agjabadi district of
the Karabakh-Mil plain (riparian forests along the Kura River). The study site or object of the
riparian forest within this region was chosen to be the area near the village of Nejafqulubeyli,
along the Kura River, following the Kura bridge on the Zardab-Agjabadi highway. Нere, riparian
forests are encountered in alluvial-meadow type soils in bands along the Kura River. As is known,
the floods that continue from the beginning of spring to the middle of summer fill the "axmaz"
(non-flowing water bodies) with water, providing a normal moisture source for plants. Thus, the
conversion of areas where riparian forests along the Kura are found into agricultural lands
for the cultivation of crops leads to salinization and desertification of these areas.
Regarding this issue, the riparian forests along the Kura River in the
territory of the Agjabadi district have been poorly studied by botanists.
