Summary
Western Tien-Shan (Tanirtau) stands out as the most floristically diverse mountain ecosystem in Kazakhstan, with a generic coefficient of 4.12 indicating its unique and autonomous flora. This study identifies the leading dendroflora families in the region, analyzing tree and shrub species across natural, anthropogenic, and urbanized ecosystems. The research aims to inventory species composition, compile floral spectra, and pinpoint dominant families, contributing critical insights into the biodiversity of this UNESCO-recognized area. Despite its ecological significance, a comprehensive dendroglaciological report remains missing, highlighting gaps in understanding the region's complex interactions between flora and climate.
