Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The plants occurring in the flora of the Aiyrtau district of the North Kazakhstan region were selected as the object of research. During the study, it was found that the flora of the Aiyrtau district of the North Kazakhstan region consists of 80 plant species belonging to 22 genera and 60 families. Families, such as Asteraceae Bercht., Amaranthaceae Juss., Fabaceae Lindl., Plantaginaceae Juss., and Poaceae Barnhart., prevailed according to the number of species. Ecological analysis of plants has shown that mesophytes, mesoxerophytes, and hygromesophytes predominate. The classification of plant species by life forms revealed semi-shrubs – 2 species, perennial herbaceous plants – 53 species, annual herbaceous plants – 20 species, and biennial herbaceous plants – 5 species. According to C. Raunkiaer’s classification, the following groups of plants were identified: hemicryptophytes (50 species; 62.5%), therophytes (11 species; 13.75%), cryptophytes (16 species; 20%), chamaephytes (1 species; 1.25%) and nanophanero-phytes (2 species; 2.5%). The results of the research work allow for supplementing the data on the flora of the North Kazakhstan region, specifically the Aiyrtau district.
