| Abstract: | Field observations were used in compiling the map for contemporary vegetation of the Acinour-Ceyrançöl foothill areas having regard to the altered floristic composition of steppe and semidesert plant communities. The study revealed a decrease in the area occupied by juniper sparse forests and riparian forests. It is found that a severe anthropogenic influence in this area leads to desertification and degradation of landscapes. |
