Status assessment of coenopopulations of <i>Lipskya insignis</i> (Apiaceae) in arid conditions
Abstract
To assess the state of coenopopulations of rare and endemic plants, it is important to evaluate the age index, efficiency index, and delta-omega analysis. For this, we studied the age composition of six coenopopulations of Lipskya insignis (Apiaceae) located in the south of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The results showed that in all studied coenopopulations generative individuals prevail, the number of which in most cases is more than half of the total. The calculation of the age index showed that the state of all coenopopulations is mature. Delta-omega analysis also confirmed the result, and deviations were observed only in hundredths of an age index.
