The list of vascular plants of State National Natural Park “Buiratau”

The analysis of literary sources and the results of our own research made it possible to identify the growth of 610 species of vascular plants from 288 genera and 75 families in the study area. Angiosperms account for the largest number of taxa - 65 families, 178 genera and 599 species, while the horsetail division had 1 family with 1 genus and 1 species. A slightly larger number of taxa was noted for the fern division: 6 families, 6 genera, and 7 species. For the division of gymnosperms, this ratio was 6.6 and 7 taxa, respectively. The average number of species per family is 8.1, and the number of genera is 3.84. On average, there are 2.12 species in the 1st genus. The largest number of species was recorded in the families Chenopodiaceae (21), Apiaceae (22), Lamiaceae (24), Scrophulariaceae (27), Brassicaceae (30), Caryophyllaceae (32), Rosaceae (35), Fabaceae (45), Poaceae (58) and Asteraceae (92). These 10 families include 63.27% of all species and 63.19% of all genera. The largest genera are wormwood (19 species), astragalus (14 species), cinquefoil (12 species), speedwell (12 species), onion (11 species) and others. Of the rare species listed in the Red Book of plants of Kazakhstan, the places of growth of sticky (black) alder, Kyrgyz birch, Volga adonis, fluffy adonis, open backache, drooping tulip, common crow's eye and pinnate feather grass have been identified.

The park was created on the lands of the reserve and the lands of the state forest fund of the Temirtau and Yereymentau forestry institutions and is located on the territory of the Yereymentau district of the Akmola region and the Osakarovsky district of the Karaganda region, consists of two branches - "Ereymentau" (60814 ha) and "Belodymovsky" (28154 ha) . The total area of the national park is 88,968 hectares. A protected area of 88,064 hectares has been created around the park. The central office is located in the village. Youth of the Karaganda region. The Buyratau National Natural Park (translated from Kazakh as “Curly Mountains”) is located in the transition zone between the subzones of moderately arid and dry steppes, which makes the territory unique in the combination of steppe ecosystems with forest ones (birch and aspen groves, black alder forests). According to the physical-geographical zoning of Kazakhstan, the territory of the state national natural park "Buiratau" is included in the country of the Central Kazakhstan hilly area, the province of Karaganda-Chingiztau dry steppe low mountains and hilly hills, the Ereymentau-Karkaraly mountain-small hilly moderately dry and dry steppe with an altitudinal belt. The main types of relief of the state national natural park "Buiratau" are low mountains (hills); small hills are high (ridge), low (hilly and hilly-ridged), as well as various types of intermountain and interhill plains - sloping, wavy, ridged, flat. Characteristic elements of the relief are the valleys of temporary streams, river valleys of small rivers and lake basins. In accordance with the soil-geographical zoning, the study area is located within the subzone of moderately dry steppes with a predominance of zonal dark chestnut soils. The territory of the park is characterized by the distribution of mountain chernozems developing in the conditions of rocky and hilly low mountains and intermountain valleys, the wide distribution of dark chestnut ordinary soils that form on flat gently sloping and ridged plains. Incomplete and underdeveloped dark chestnut soils of low and high hillocks are also found here. A feature of the territory of the park is a sharp change (at fairly close distances) of chernozems and dark chestnut soils. Under the conditions of a strongly dissected small hillock, coarse skeletal, underdeveloped and primitive dark chestnut soils were predominantly distributed.
