The current state of the coenopopulation of Capparis spinosa L. (Capparaceae) in the semi-desert of Uzbekistan

The article is devoted to the assessment of the current state of the ruderal, medicinal, food, honeybearing, forage plant Capparis spinosa L. in the semi-desert (lower foothills) in the Tashkent, Namangan and Jizzakh regions of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Studies have shown that the ecological and cenotic conditions in these areas of the studied coenopopulations are normal, mostly full-fledged, except for the Jizzakh regions. The duration of ontogenesis in natural conditions lasts about 30 years. Coenopopulations in the 4 studied plant communities are young and middle-aged. The growing season of C. spinosa in the semi-desert conditions of Uzbekistan lasts 7 months-from April to October. Self-maintenance of the coenopopulation occurs due to seed renewal and vegetative reproduction.
