The Cretaceous steppes with Caragana (Russian: Меловые степи с караганой) is a natural monument (protected areas of Ulyanovsk Oblast). It is managed by the Berezovskoe joint-stock company.
The Cretaceous steppes with Caragana is a 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, research and scientific work is not conducted.
Is available a natural complex of rather good safety since the given forest-steppe file more and more is improved and becomes arable land.
