    The paper describes the assessment and mapping of wind climate and environmental conditions of the study region extending from 56.03N 20.2E to 57.22N 21.33E. Maps of wind resources and environmental conditions are the primary method used for presenting the offshore wind resources as well as site conditions data. A GIS database was chosen to house the offshore resources data because the datasets have a significant spatial component. A visualization of the geospatial data is created using the Google Maps platform. The maps datasets consist of gridded 1) climatological information on wind speed and direction, air temperature, air pressure, wind power potential at 10m, 80m, 90m and 100m height; 2) oceanographical information on water temperature, height and direction of sea waves, speed and direction of currents, ice conditions; 3) geological data on bathymetry and sea sediments. The horizontal resolution of the database grid cells is 5 km by 5 km. All the component datasets are spatially referenced to the same spatial base, allowing rapid indexing of the different datasets to each other. A database user may compare information from different datasets in the same geographic location. The GIS database also allows portions of a dataset to be quickly updated as new information becomes available.

    Climate change and temperature may lead to long-term irregularities in inter-specific interaction and may alter plant populations' dynamics, its structure and ecosystem functioning in the region [1,3]. Studies on possible effects of climate change on medicinal plants biodiversity and conservation status are particularly significant due to their value within traditional systems of medicine and as economically useful plants. Currently, only limited information on conservation status under the impact of global climate change of these species is available in Armenia [2]. Anthropogenic threats to biodiversity (overpopulation, deforestation and urbanization) have simultaneously hindered research and increased the need for it. From 2006–2009, field studies were conducted to find out changes the growth, phenological and habitat characteristics of Melissa officinalis L., population size and location (GPS mapping). In 2010, we have implicated these research data to carry out future assessment of the risk analyze and impact of global climate change on its population distribution and conservation status. Neural network and genetic algorithms have been identified as stochastic self-learning methods to investigate hidden regularities between different data. Certain factors, such as biological characteristic of plants, habitat of the populations, anthropogenic threats and climate change have been identified as the key elements. In fact, vulnerability of plant population, particularly will increase central and northern part of the country, as they identified to be comparatively stressful environment under global climate change and anthropogenic threats, which included: poor land management, increasing population pressure, and excessive collection of plants.
