Abstrakt: It is shown that an increase in grazing pressure in soils of dry steppes in Southern Tyva leads to an increase in the content of microbial biomass, a decrease in its specific activity, and a reduction in the numbers and species richness of oribatid mites. During pasture restoration for three years, the content of microbial biomass has decreased and its specific activity has increased, but the numbers and species richness of the oribatid mites community has not recovered.
