Abstract. The article provides a brief overview of vegetation stratigraphy, control zones and rare plants
in the Altyn-Emel State National Nature Park. The concept of environmental control, plant diversity,
plant diversity, phytocenotic diversity was also interpreted.Objective: Assessment of the current state of
vegetation of the State National Natural Park “Altyn-Emel”. Research methods: Common geobotanical,
cartographic. The vegetation cover was studied using traditional methods of field geobotanical research.
Field mapping of vegetation was carried out by a combination of the detailed route method and the
method of landscape-ecological profiling using topographic base and satellite images. At the points
fixed on the ground by the GPS device, a detailed geobotanical description of the main, predominant in
area, plant communities were carried out. Scientific importance is the assessment of the current state of
the plant cover of the region with unique biodiversity. An assessment of the current state of vegetation
cover will make it possible to determine the degree of its disturbance and to identify the main threats to
botanical diversity. The reflection on the maps of key sections of the spatial structure and composition of
vegetation is the most informative way of demonstrating the current state and extent of transformation of
vegetation. Identifying the habitats of wild relatives of cultivated plants and rare plant communities will
be important for the territory of the state national natural park “Altyn-Emel”. The research results served
as the basis for the development of practical measures for the protection of vegetation and biodiversity
conservation.
Key words: State National Natural Park, monitoring, local, regional, global.
