Bioecological evaluation and distribution of principles of ordinary juniper (Juniperus communis l.) in Azerbaijan

Rzayevа Afag

Juniperus communis L. (Cupressaceae) is a widespread species of juniper that grows mainly in rocky and mountainous areas. The bioecological features of coenopopulations of this taxon growing on the territory of the Azerbaijan Republic are revealed. The duration of ontogenesis of this species in natural habitats is more than 300 years. The studied bioecological spectrum of cenopopulations shows that there are optimal conditions for self-restoration of cenopopulations in Dubrara and in the Turianchai Reserve.
