Abstract

The steppe belt of Tannu-Ola southern macroslope contains two subbelts. The main communities of the subbelt of desert steppes (1000–1300 m) are represented by desert steppes (Nanophyto grubovii-Stipetum krylovii, Lagochilo ilicifolii-Stipetum glareosae) and communities where Stipa orientalis predominates (Elytrigio geniculatae-Stipetum orientalis). The main communities of the subbelt of true steppes (1300–1600 m) are represented by bunchgrass steppes (Artemisio frigidae-Stipetum krylovii) and steppes of ass. Carici pediformis-Caraganetum bungei.
