Abstract: During the ecological-geobotanical investigations, the phytocenoses with dominance of legumes in the desert and semi-desert vegetation types, which form mainly natural feed source in winter pasture areas of Azerbaijan on the Caspian coast have been recorded. The classification scheme on 2 vegetation types, 4 formation classes, 4 formation groups and 5 associations was compiled and the “Ecological-geobotanical map of some phytocenoses formed by legumes in natural vegetation of Azerbaijan” was prepared.

Keywords: Desert, phytocenosis, formation, dominant , subdominant
