A conception of the flora of forest ecosystems of the Greater Caucasus was compiled, an assessment of α-, β-, γ-diversity was carried out, the main plant units were determined and their diagrams were drawn up. A list of useful (medicinal, food, ornamental, dyeing, etc.) plants has been formed, the cenopulations of some rare and endangered species have been studied, phenological observations have been made on rare plants planted in the Central Botanical Garden.
