PHENOLOGY OF PHLOMOIDES ANISOCHILA AND PHLOMOIDES SOGDIANA

Abstract

Phenology, the study of seasonal patterns in plant life cycles, plays a crucial role in understanding the ecological dynamics of plant species and their interactions with the environment. In this study, we investigate the phenology of two closely related species, Phlomoides anisochila and Phlomoides sogdiana, native to Central Asia. Through field observations and experimental data collection, we explore the timing of key phenological events such as flowering, leaf emergence, and senescence, as well as the environmental factors influencing these patterns. Our findings shed light on the adaptive strategies of these species to the unique climatic conditions of their habitat and provide valuable insights into their ecological significance and conservation.
