Annotation:
The article provides information about halophyte plant communities described in Dornod aimag (Eastern aimag) of Mongolia. It is suggested their position in the classification of vegetation into units based on floristic composition and the identification of characteristic species by J. Braun-Blanquet. We have given characteristics for each selected phytocenon, including its composition, structure, and position in the relief. The phytocoenotic diversity of halophyte communities is conditioned by the fact that the study area is bordered by Dauro- (Mongol)-Manchurian and Khalkha-East-Mongolian botanical-geographic provinces, which belong to the East-Asian subkingdom [according to Kamelin, 2010].
Keywords:
