Ecological-Geobotanical Evaluation of Potential of Soil-Vegetation Cover of Pastures in Shirvan (Azerbaijan)

Data on a new method of ecological-geobotanical evaluation of the soil and vegetation cover of Shirvan in Azerbaijan, developed for the first time on the basis of data on soil evaluation, their ecological assessment and the state of natural plant population characteristic of this territory have been shown in the paper. The soil-vegetation cover of Shirvan was grouped according to the ecological-geobotanical evaluative indicators and 4 groups were identified based on the data of the ecological-geobotanical evaluation. Management is carried out in 3 directions: with application in cultivation, with application in animal husbandry and improvement of social policy and agriculture. Thus, the method of ecological-geobotanical evaluation developed for the first time can be applied to territories with similar soil and vegetation cover throughout Azerbaijan.
