Abstract

The article presents the results of research conducted in Dengizkul and around this area. It identifies plant species in and around the lake and analyzes species composition. As a result of the analysis, 70 species of tall plants belonging to 24 families were identified in the lake. The identified species are divided into aquatic and riparian plants. Of these, 18 species are found in lake water and 52 species in its vicinity. The low number of high plant species in the lake water is due to the salinity of the water. The protection of this area is based on the natural conservation of the surrounding plant population.

Highlights

  • There are more than 500 lakes in Uzbekistan and they are used wisely for various purposes [1]

  • The salinity of the water has increased significantly as a result of the decrease in the amount of water discharged into the lake

  • Data from Flora of Uzbekistan [20], Opredelitel rasteniy Sredney Azii [21] and Analysis of Flora of Bukhara Oasis [22] were used to determine the composition of plant species

Summary

Introduction

There are more than 500 lakes in Uzbekistan and they are used wisely for various purposes [1]. A number of studies have been conducted on the hydrobiology of these lakes. Not all lakes have been fully studied along the waterfront and aquatic plants. The lower tributary of the Zarafshan River, Tayqir, flows into the lake [2]. The salinity of the water has increased significantly as a result of the decrease in the amount of water discharged into the lake.
