Abstract

The article describes an analysis of the vegetation cover on restored pastures of the northwestern Caspian coast 30 years after land reclamation via afforestation. The distribution and productivity of the grazing land flora are analyzed throughout the ecological and morphological areas of the former center of desertification. The goal is to assess the outcomes of the ecological and meliorative experiment of the 1980s, which involved the use of aviation to create protective sand-retaining windbreaks of mammoth wild rye.
