https://doi.org/10.71130/spir-2024-1-91-93
Abstract
The study at the Belbulak monitoring point, located in the Almaty region, focuses on the analysis of plant biodiversity under the influence of pesticides that were previously stored in this area. The vegetation cover comprises 26 families, 82 genera, and 103 species, with the Asteraceae family (Bercht. & J. Presl) being the most dominant. The projective vegetation coverage is 75%, with a significant portion made up of weed species, totaling 70, which represents 66.7% of the total species count. The study also identified 28 forage species, but no endemic species were found. The results underscore the importance of vegetation assessment and monitoring in understanding the impact of anthropogenic activities on ecosystems. Keywords: biodiversity, pesticides, vegetation cover, monitoring
