Annotation:
The article studies the humus condition of lithozems (Mollic Leptosols) of the peripheral part of Khentii mountain forest-steppe, where the contrasting vegetation cover is repre- sented by a combination of communities of larch grass forests, dwarf birch, tallgrass mes- ophytic meadows and cryomesophyte steppes. We have noted a different depth of trans- formation of plant residues, depending on the climatic conditions and the type of vegeta- tion. It has been revealed that the exposure of slopes, which determines the level of mois- ture, is a leading factor in differentiation of the humus condition of lithozems.
