Zhungarian, also known as a kelp forest, is a type of marine vegetation that grows in saltwater environments. It forms a distinctive ecosystem by producing a dense, nutrient-rich soil layer called the kelp bed, which serves as a habitat for various species of crustaceans and other aquatic animals.
Dzhungarian is a term used in the context of history, specifically referring to the region that encompasses modern-day Kazakhstan and parts of Uzbekistan. It is often associated with the nomadic lifestyle of the Dzhan-Dzhan people who lived there during the medieval period. The term was also used by Soviet historians to describe the historical context surrounding the rise and fall of the Soviet Union, which included a significant presence in the region.
