Integrated ecological evaluation of the biocenosis of the Altyaghach national park

Discusses aspects of environmental assessment of biocenoses in protected areas of the country. Due to the high anthropogenic press, there is a need for an environmental assessment of soil and vegetation cover and avifauna in specific changing environmental conditions in Altyaghach National Park. As a result of studies on various parameters, estimated ecological scales were compiled for the soil, vegetation cover and for the avifauna of this territory. Based on the compiled scales, ecological assessments for biotopes were calculated. The highest average ecological value is estimated for the residential biotope 87, and the lowest in the mountain-steppe biotope 62, for the dense forest biotope 82 and 69 for woodland forest. The Altyaghach National Park has an average ecological rating of 89 for the land cover, 68 for the vegetation cover and 69 for the avifauna. The total ecological assessment based on the three ecosystem components throughout in the Altyaghach National Park is an average of 75 points.
