Abstract
Weed communities of root crops in the Pamir Alai Mts, Tajikistan (Middle Asia)
Highlights
According to the ten-volume flora of the former Soviet Socialist Republic of Tajikistan [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8], supplemented by the works of Zakirov [9], Tzvelev [10], and Ikonnikov [11], ca. 4550 vascular plant species occur in Tajikistan
30% of vascular plant species known from Tajikistan are generally accepted endemics of the country [8,27,28]
We propose the following classification of the weed communities of root crops in Tajikistan: Stellarietea mediae Tüxen et al ex von Rochow 1951 Atriplici-Chenopodietalia albi R.Tüxen (1937) Nordhagen 1940 Spergulo arvensis-Erodion cicutariae J
Summary
According to the ten-volume flora of the former Soviet Socialist Republic of Tajikistan [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8], supplemented by the works of Zakirov [9], Tzvelev [10], and Ikonnikov [11], ca. 4550 vascular plant species occur in Tajikistan. 4550 vascular plant species occur in Tajikistan. This number is not final, as recently some new records regarding the Tajik flora have been published Some species new to science have been described based on plant specimens collected in the general area of this country Tajik vascular plant flora is considered as among the richest in the area of the former Soviet Union. This area is recognized as one of the most important centers of weed species in the world [26]. 30% of vascular plant species known from Tajikistan are generally accepted endemics of the country [8,27,28]. It is worth mentioning that the Pamir-Alai range is part of the middle Asian mountain system recognized by Conservation International to be among thirty-four so-called
