Abstract

The steppe and forest–steppe communities of Khentii aimag are classified into ten formations and formation groups. The state of steppe rangeland ecosystems has significantly declined in recent years due to a rapid increase in livestock. The pronounced changes have occurred south of the Kherlen (Kerulen) River, where grazing pressure currently exceeds their carrying capacity.
