Popis: Analysis of microclimate parameters on various elements of the mesorelief of natural sand dunes in the Nadym region of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug showed that the elements of that mesorelief form individual combinations of meteorological elements of the microclimate: the maximum wind speeds are observed at the tops of the dunes, the maximum values of relative humidity and temperature are typical for leeward slopes. The condition of the plants growing on the dunes depends on the microclimatic conditions and temperature regime of the upper part of the sandy deposits. The transfer of sand by strong winds and significant freezing of the surface layer is a determining factor in preventing plant growth. The temperature and relative humidity of the surface layer of atmospheric air, which form special "greenhouse" conditions on the leeward slopes of the dunes, have a positive effect on the growth of vegetation, under the condition of insignificant wind loads.
