THE STRUCTURE OF COASTAL VEGETATION IN THE CONDITIONS OF MODERN DYNAMICS OF THE CASPIAN SEA
The structure of hydrophilic vegetation of the coastal strip (littoral) of the Daghestan republic in the conditions of modern dynamics of the Caspian Sea is considered. A modified system of littoral ecotops is offered. The littoral hydrophilic flora represents a combination of several structural typological complexes. Central place here belongs to the water flora itself – hydrophiton. A large group of types, often called “the half sunk” (the reed, the lake cane, the cattail, etc.), is presented in the area.
