Patch if relic steppe-like community in the Eastern Yakutiya. As the real steppe in temperate zone, this community is composed of representatives of Stipa, Cleistogenes, Goniolimon and other typical steppe species that have here their northernmost localities. One more interesting thing about this is the presence of C4 plants at latitudes over 60 degrees.
