Abstract
The purpose of the present research consists in the study of peculiarities of transformation of the main components of destruction link of the biological turnover during the evolution of plain soils in the Depression of Large Lakes in Western Mongolia. It is shown that there is soil evolution from meadow typical soil to solonchak and further to brown typical soils during the lake-drying process. Changes of the soil microbial biomass occur; both the number and species composition of oribatid mites in this soils series change.
