Cretaceous steppes with Caragana (Russian: Меловые степи с караганой) is a natural monument (protected areas of Ulyanovsk Oblast).

[edit] Basic special features

The clearly expressed steppe with the tracks of the former forest. Most likely, there were here pine- oak scaffolding with the chalky sections. Forms migrated from this territory and forest became steppe. At present in the steppe there is a very rich composition of flora. Pasture and pasturing of cattle is limited. Because of lack of financing researching and scientific work is not conducing.

[edit] The basis for creation of PA and its importance

Is available a natural complex of rather good safety since the given forest-steppe file more and more is improved and turns to an arable land.
