Abstract
The results of the study of plant communities with the participation of Acer hyrcanum, a relict vulnerable rare species for Dagestan and the Eastern Caucasus, are presented. The far northwestern population of the Foothill floristic region was studied. It is noted that the species occurs in single specimens. Carpinus betulus and Fraxinus excelsior were the dominant tree layers in all investigated sites. The analysis of the woody flora to geographical elements, showed the predominance of elements of the Caucasian flora. In general, elements of the European, Ancient Mediterranean, Colchian and Hyrkanian flora participate in the composition of the phytocenosis of the studied population. The peculiarities of the growth of species of the genus Acer in Dagestan allow us to clarify the distribution boundary of representatives of the Hyrkanian and Euxine flora in the Foothill zone of Dagestan.
