Change of vegetation belts of Kyrgyzstan as a consequence of global warming

The results of the work on the UNDP project concerning global warming are provided. According to the forecast of experts of Kyrgyzstan, by 2100 annual average global ground air temperature can increase on average by 1-3.5 °C; also the mode of atmospheric precipitation will change. These changes can lead to negative consequences in many regions of the planet: in the environment - to the reduction of diversity of plant and animal life; in social and economic sectors, namely in agriculture and fishery - to decrease in productivity; and also will have an adverse effect on people’s health. On the territory of Kyrgyzstan there will probably be a considerable shift of borders of natural belts down due to expansion of desert and steppe ecosystems, including steppification of meadow ecosystems. Catastrophic changes of specific structure of flora won't happen. Temperature increase will be leveled by increase in humidity and mountainous terrain. Evidence-based measures for adaptation of natural flora in the republics of different types of mountain and mountain grassy communities in the case of global warming scenario are proposed.
