Abstract: The Ganja River basin, characterized by a wide range of elevations and climatic gradients, constitutes a unique ecological matrix distinguished by its diverse vegetation assemblages. Rigorous investigations, encompassing over 100 phytosociological descriptions and the collection of 300 herbarium specimens, have elucidated 20 distinct types of fluorescent vegetation, classified based on phytochrome composition and their dominant edifiers. For the first time, a comprehensive and contemporary phytocenological framework at the association level has been developed, delineating vegetation distribution across ecological zones, including forests, meadows, swamps, and wetlands. Utilizing I.G. Serebryakov’s classification system, the research reveals a nuanced stratification of life forms into vegetative, restorative, and irruptive species types, which are further categorized into ecological groups such as mesoxerophytes, xeromesophytes, halomesophytes, and saprophytes. The study critically examines the drivers of soil erosion and the diminished productivity of natural fodder areas, proposing targeted phytomelioration strategies aimed at restoring ecological equilibrium and reinforcing the stability of coastal slopes. These findings significantly advance the discourse on sustainable resource management and emphasize the imperative of safeguarding the ecological integrity of the Ganja River basin.
