Abstract
The richness of biodiversity is associated with the richness and diversity of natural ecosystems. All the main ecosystems of the Caucasus (with the exception of the humid subtropics) are represented in Armenia – deserts and semideserts, steppes, meadow-steppes, forests and open forests, subalpine and alpine vegetation, and intrazonal ecosystems. All of them are habitats for species of flora and fauna of Armenia.
