Discusses the participation of representatives of the Brassicaceae Burnett. family in the spring flora of the lowland areas of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, using the road leading to the Julfa district as an example. The study provides information on species belonging to the genera Arabidopsis (DC.) Heynh. and Camelina Crantz within this family. Specifically, the species Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. and Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz were identified along the road to Julfa. Data on the phytocoenosis formed by these species and its species composition are presented in tabular form. The study investigates the family, genus, life form, and ecological group of the species forming the phytocoenosis.

Julfa, one of the administrative districts of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, is located on the left bank of the Araz River, to the east of the city. The district borders Armenia to the northeast, the Islamic Republic of Iran to the south, Babek to the west, Shahbuz to the northwest, and Ordubad to the east [7].
The territory of Julfa district is situated at an elevation of 1290 meters above sea level. Most of the area lies within a mountainous zone and, based on its relief characteristics, is divided into foothill, low-mountain, mid-mountain, and high-mountain zones. Along the road from the city of Nakhchivan to Julfa, the massive dome-shaped formations of the Julfa Mountains are visible. The predominant soil types include mountain-meadow, mountain-forest, mountain-chestnut, brown,

Along the roads leading to Julfa, representatives of the Brassicaceae Burnett. family are also present among the plant species forming the spring flora. During the field studies, we investigated a phytocoenosis involving species from the genera Arabidopsis (DC.) Heynh. and Camelina Crantz within this family. In the flora of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, three species of the genus Arabidopsis (DC.) Heynh. are present: Arabidopsis parvula (Schrenk) O.E. Schulz, Arabidopsis pumila (Steph.) N. Busch, and Arabidopsis Thaliana (L.) Heynh. Similarly, three species of the genus Camelina Crantz are distributed: Camelina laxa C.A. Mey., Camelina rumelica Velen. (syn. Camelina albiflora (Boiss.) N. Busch), and Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz [5, 6].
During the studies, a phytocoenosis involving Arabidopsis Thaliana (L.) Heynh. and Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz species was encountered in the lowland areas. The coordinates of the study area were determined using GPS:
39º4'21.90648'' N, 45º34'28.10388'' E, 926 m a.s.l.
39º4'49.73952'' N, 45º33'56.19276'' E, 926 m a.s.l.
In the phytocoenosis involving the aforementioned species, other representatives of the family also participate, as expected. Data on the species composition of this phytocoenosis are presented in the Table below.

According to the data presented in the table, the phytocoenosis involving Arabidopsis Thaliana (L.) Heynh. and Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz along the road leading to Julfa includes 13 annual species (44.82%), 12 perennial species (41.37%), 3 biennial species (10.34%), and one species with an annual or biennial life form (3.44%). Among these, annual plants dominate and hold a leading position. Among the families forming the phytocoenosis, Asteraceae Bercht. & J. Presl has the highest number of species, with 11 species (37.93%). There are also significant representatives among the species that make up the phytocoenosis [3, 4].
