Abstract

The data on the variability of the structure of plant communities formed under the conditions of the steppe extrazonality of the Barguzin basin (North-Western Pribaikalye) are represented. Geobotanic and soil profiles for one of the most significant study areas were made. The structure of contact communities of the light-coniferous taiga and extrazonal steppe was revealed. The edaphic conditions and location of plant communities reflected the direction of vegetation cover developing in this part of Pribaikalia.
