Employees of the Systematics Laboratory of the Institute of Dendrology of ANAS, Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor Aliyar Ibrahimov and Doctor of Biological Sciences, Associate Professor Fatmakhanim Nabiyeva visited Turkan, Hovsan, Pirallahi, Zira and Zira Ecopark.

The purpose of the expedition is to re-study the flora and vegetation of Absheron. The rapid development of oil and other industries in Absheron, global climate change, natural, anthropogenic, zoogenic, man-made and other factors, the imbalance in the ecosystem, the misuse of land as a result of human activities have led to the shrinking and extinction of many wild species. While the nomenclature and systematic changes, additions, and new discoveries made over the past years are scattered, the information given in separate sources is not reflected in the flora.
