The paper presents the results of long-term studies of the structural and functional organization of the vegetation of the coastal zone of the salt lake Kurinka (Koybalskay steppe, Khakasia). It is shown that the structure of coastal vegetation changes due to abnormal weather conditions of the year. As a result of a prolonged drought and a decrease in the area of the lake surface, the dominant Phragmites australis fell out from the coastal zone, and community Bolboschoenus maritimus was formed. The restoration of a stable typical community was noted, when a favorable weather conditions in subsequent years were established.
