Abstract
Modern aeolian relief is widespread in the forest-steppe landscapes of Transbaikalia. Valleys of the Selenga River and its inflows are the areas covered by ancient sandy deposits. Human impact in dry climatic conditions causes intensive wind erosion and formation of open and moving sands covered with sparse plants. The flora and vegetation of such landscapes notably differ from surrounding territories. It’s particularity is caused by presence and domination of plant species usually seen on open sands. Despite of numerous publications describing the sandy dunes of Transbaikalia, the psammophyte vegetation and natural dynamics of sandy landscapes are poorly documented. This study presents the analysis of 398 relevés describing psammophyte vegetation from the South-West Transbaikalia (Selenginsky, Dzhidinsky, Kyakhtinsky and Bichursky administrative disticts of the Republic of Buryatia).
