In floodplain areas and terraces, the Barguzin River and its tributaries are characterized by the alternation of a mosaic of meadow steppe, steppe, and wetland spaces. Forest vegetation prevails in the foothill areas and on the slopes of the rivers, up to 1100m-1300mm (3,600feet-4,300feetm) altitude. The forests are rich in berries, mushrooms, and nuts.
