Abstract: | The results are presented that have been obtained in studies on changes in the species composition, geobotanical characteristics, and productivity of natural vegetation in arid steppes of the Cisural region during the past few decades (1977–2012). Consideration is given to the significance of the soil factor in the processes of transformation of zonal vegetation. The increasing role of arid steppes as a natural barrier to desertification is demonstrated. |
