Basic scientific achievements

   İs a result of many years of floristic and geobotanical research, 17 genera, 18 families, and 33 species newly identified by the researcher have enriched the floras of Azerbaijan, the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, and the Caucasus as a whole. In the Kura–Araz lowland and the Araz riverside plains, 9 natural ecosystems were distinguished, and for their vegetation 9 types, 23 formation classes, 13 formation groups, 6 formation subgroups, 248 formations, and nearly 2,500 associations and micro-communities were identified.

  For the first time in the region, taking into account the necessity of proper management of landscape genesis, a model for data collection and processing consisting of 8 main items and 13 sub-items was developed to motivate and ensure effective landscape management.

   Based on the results of long-term studies, a schematic map of the desertification area and cartograms for combating desertification were compiled in order to prevent or mitigate the desertification processes that have developed and continue to expand in the Kura–Araz lowland and the Araz riverside plains.

   Scientific research on useful medicinal plants distributed within the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan, their ethnobotanical characteristics, and prospects for application has been carried out, and the results are being published in international scientific journals.
