Abstract

This article presents the results of geobotanical research conducted using geoinformation technologies in pastures and hayfields of the Ellikkala district of the Republic of Karakalpakstan. In this research work, the necessary information about the habitats and distribution environments of the nutritious pasture plants that are mainly consumed by livestock has been provided. Also, suggestions and recommendations are given for improving the methods of regeneration of vegetation cover growing in pastures. In order to ensure the productivity of pastures, research was conducted using 1:10,000 scale map and orthophoto plans of the district to determine the quality of the botanical composition of its plants.
