From the phyto-geographic point of view the GMA represents the most complete sequence of altitudinal vegetation zones in Central Siberia from steppe, forest-steppe, mixed forest, sub-alpine vegetation and alpine vegetation, a zonation sequence particularly well illustrated in the Altaisky Zapovednik.
