Abstract

The article considers climatic features of habitats of potentially medicinal plants are according to the data from 33 meteorological stations for the period from 1991 to 2023. Statistical analysis and visualization of the data using boxplot diagrams were carried out. Seasonal and annual trends in air temperature and precipitation amounts in the habitats of medicinal plants were analyzed. In all areas, in all seasons of the year, there is an increase in air temperature. Only in the areas of Southern Kazakhstan and Piedmont zone of Ile-Alatau there is a slight decrease in temperature in autumn. In general, there is a widespread increase in temperature by 0.29-0.62 °C/10 years per year, with significant trends for spring and summer. The analysis of the time course of monthly precipitation sums showed that there is a diverse change in precipitation, all trends are insignificant, with the exception of autumn for the Central Kazakhstan area. The study of seasonal and annual variations in the main meteorological variables in the habitats of potentially medicinal plants is an important aspect both for understanding the peculiarities of plant growth and for optimizing the processes of their cultivation, collection and use for medicinal purposes. Meteorological conditions, such as air temperature and precipitation, are playing a key role in shaping the biological characteristics of medicinal plants, their active constituents and therapeutic properties.
