'''Tugay'''{{efn|From {{lang-ba|туғай|tuğay}}}}{{efn|Also spelt or romanized as ''Tugai'', ''Tughay'', ''Tugae'', ''Tougaï'', ''Toogay'', etc.}} is a form of [[riparian zone|riparian]] [[forest]] or [[woodland]] associated with [[fluvial]] and [[floodplain]] areas in arid climates. These [[wetlands]] are subject to periodic inundation, and largely dependent on floods and groundwater rather than directly from rainfall. Tugay habitats occur in [[semi-arid climate|semi-arid]] and [[desert climate]]s in [[central Asia]]. Because Tugay habitat is usually linear, following the courses of rivers in arid landscapes, Tugay communities often function as [[wildlife corridor]]s. They have disappeared or become fragmented over much of their former range.<ref name=thevs/><ref name="Treshkin">{{cite book|last1=Treshkin|first1=S.Y.|last2=Kamalov|first2=S.K.|last3=Bachiev|first3=A.|last4=Mamutov|first4=N.|last5=Gladishev|first5=A.I.|last6=Aimbetov|first6=I.|title=Present status of the tugai forets in the lower Amu-Dar’ya Basin and problems of their protection and restoration.
