AVERAGE ANNUAL PRODUCTİVİTY OF THE THYMUSETA-VİCAETUM-FESTUCOSUM FORMATİON, DİSTRİBUTED İN SUMMER PASTURE FİELD NO. 8 'TURKESOBA' (AZERBAİJAN)

The vegetation of the Thymuseta-Vicaetum-Festucosum formation was noted in summer (non-grazed) pasture field No. 8 “Turksoba” in the Astara region on mountain-brown soils emerging from under the forest. The average annual air temperature, typical for the climate of this region, is 10-140C, and the annual precipitation reaches 1400-1600 mm. Research shows that the vegetation of this formation belongs to the class of herbaceous-legume-grain formations. The productivity of the Thymuseta-Vicaetum-Festucosum formation of this formation class in the summer season 2021-2022-2023 ranges from 19.5-29.6 c/ha by wet weight and 7.8-12.9 c/ha by dry mass. According to calculations, the coefficient of conversion of wet mass into dry productivity corresponds to 2.3-2.5. ; References: 1. Aghaguliyev I.M. (2006).
