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

It is impossible to imagine people’s lives without geographical names. Geographical names are required to distinguish one place from another. Our people have long observed the benefits and harms of each plant in their habitat, using it in their daily practice. Because nomadic life habits required knowledge of the characteristics of each pasture land: climate, terrain, water sources, vegetation, suitability of grazing, seasonal use. In this regard, special attention is paid to the efficiency of cultivation of various types of agricultural products, which are characteristic of these regions. For example, it was convenient to breed cows in A Quiet Place, sheep and horses in sagebrush, in a secluded place, camels in a desert area. It can be seen that the more often phytotoponymic names appear on our Earth, the more influence the cultural code has. Because the culture of the people is inextricably linked with its way of life. By studying the phytotoponymic vocabulary in toponymy, you can reveal the secret of interesting information about the disappeared features of the landscape of a particular region. This article discusses the importance of Geographical Names, draws attention to how the plant world manifests itself in Kazakh toponymy, in particular in the system of oronyms, hydronyms and oikonyms, and provides information about the language code and cultural code of several plants.
