Abstract

---

Present taxonomic status of the taxa belonging to the sedge family (Cyperaceae Juss.), widespread in the southern part of the Lesser Caucasus within the borders of Azerbaijan, was studied. It was determined that 12 genera and 31 species of the family were widespread in the boggy vegetation in the studied area. Using geobotanical and floristic methods, 4 formation classes, 4 formations, and 8 associations have been recognized in the boggy vegetation of the lowland area of Karabakh. It has been established that the satellites of the species are sedges (Carex sp.), characteristic of lowland areas. Expeditions were carried out along certain routes to the lowland areas of Karabakh. Based on the CPS data of the species encountered here, GIS maps of the ranges of the species belonging to the family, as well as the expedition routes, were developed (Arc GIS Pro 3.3). As a result, 12 genera and 31 species belonging to the Cyperaceae Juss. family were identified in the boggy vegetation of the lowland regions of Karabakh.
