An analysis of the landscapes around the Yenikend reservoir was carried out and it was found that the plants existing in the area formed six vegetation types spread over five soil types on 15 landscapes. In the south-eastern part of the territory, there are mild humid mountain-forest landscapes, in which broadleaved forests are dominated by Fagus orientalis Lipsky - Carpinus orientalis Mill. and Quercus iberica M. Bieb. - Carpinus orientalis formation. The southern part of the reservoir belongs to the arid and semiarid landscape type of the low mountains. In addition to xerophytic and steppe landscapes, small hills and semi-desert landscapes of plain areas are widespread here. Among the soil types, the flood-plain alluvial-meadow type is found in the form of narrow strips around the reservoir and on the banks of the rivers, the washed and carbonated (tugai) meadow-forest type is found in the form of small patches in the southern and northern parts of the reservoir, and the partially saline light chestnut type is found in the northern and southern parts of the reservoir. Due to the intensive anthropogenic pressure, large areas have been deforested and turned into farmland. Around the reservoir prevail the dense tamarisk and reedbeds where Phragmites communis, Tamarix meyeri, and T. ramossisima species grow, ephemeral plants are dominated by the species Atraphaxis spinosa L.
