Cenopopulation Status Assessment of Vegetative Cover of Coastal North Eastern Pre Caspian Area

In oil producing regions oil pollution occurs which among other things causes problems related to conservation of the region s biodiversity Therefore acquisition of knowledge about the state of the unique nature of Northern Caspian which is under an intensified anthropogenic press and study of the current state of marine and coastal biota is an urgent problem for modern Kazakhstan The territory is located in a desert zone in the subzone of steppificated northern deserts In the zonal terms this is a transitional azonal band between the subzones of the mid latitude absolute and northern steppificated deserts Even more significantly it is located between the contrasting ecosystems of the sea and land Such a geographical location predetermines the heterogeneity of spatial differentiation and the dynamics of vegetation Moisture and salinization regimes are the main limiting factors for the botanical composition of communities In this regard the vegetative cover is characterized by a poor floristic and phytocenotic diversity and a simple structure This is also due to the youth of the territory periodic transgressions and regressions of the Caspian Sea and a constant influence of the surging sea As a result of intensive grazing use of the territory in the previous years there are areas of saltwort sagebrush degraded vegetation in the areas of increased concentration of agricultural animals characterized by a lower vitality of Artemisia its thinning and abundant growth of annual saltworts Ceratocarpus arenarius Climacoptera brachiata Salsola paulsenii and Salsola nitraria that reduce significantly the grazing characteristics of grasslands and are indicators of anthropogenic activity In recent decades the society has increasingly used information about the state of the natural environment in its activities This information is needed in the daily life of people in the management of the economy in construction in emergency circumstances to alert people of the imminent natural calamities However changes in the state of the environment also occur under the influence of biospheric processes associated with human activities To determine the contribution of anthropogenic factors to these changes is an important and difficult task Abundance of species and phytobiotic structure are important indicators of the state of the environment the degree of anthropogenic disturbance and pollution As a result of the research data on flora composition and structure of vegetation will be obtained
