Abstract

This study analyzed the floristic composition of the Arnasoy State Nature Reserve, with a particular focus on its role in maintaining eco-
logical stability and the distribution characteristics of polymorphic plant families. To quantitatively assess floristic richness, a new math-
ematical model entitled the ”Floristic Stability Coefficient (FSC)” is proposed by the author. Using this model, the relative contribution
of each polymorphic family to ecosystem stability was determined based on the species abundance and ecological dispersion.
