Assessment of the State of Tulipa lehmanniana Mercklin Populations Under the Conditions of the Kyzylkum Desert

Abstract

Coenopopulations of Tulipa lehmanniana Merckl. have been studied and assessed as normal, with the full range of age groups, except for the Tamdyn population, for which no senile fraction has been observed. The complex of determinating indices of coenopopulations with high variation coefficients includes the population density, projective cover, and the width of the bottom leaf. Coenopopulations represent viable, sustainable, integral, and self-maintaining systems capable of self-renewal by either generative or vegetative means.
