Abstract
The experience of growing field-protective forest belts of different species composition under arid conditions of the Shira steppe of Khakasia is considered. The results of the investigation of species variety, distribution of grass plants over ecological groups, and revelation of the regularities of species composition dynamics, structure and biomass of living grass cover in field-protective forest plantations are reported. The question concerning the influence of development stage of the living grass cover on the forest belts growth is considered.
