Climate and ecoregion
The climate of the area is Cold semi-arid climate (Köppen climate classification (BSk)). This climate is characteristic of steppe climates intermediary between desert humid climates, and typically have precipitation is above evapotranspiration. At least one month averages below 0 C.

Flora and fauna
The northern slopes of the Khan Khukhii Mountains receive more precipitation (300 mm/year) than the southern slopes (150 mm/year). The north therefore supports greater variety in vertical zones - from steppe to mountain forest (Siberian larch and Siberian pine) to alpine meadows. The southern slopes have desert and semi-arid desert vegetation.
