Résumé :	Land use changes have resulted in the loss and isolation of semi-natural habitats worldwide. In intensively used agricultural landscapes the remnants of natural flora only persist in small habitat islands embedded in a hostile matrix. In the steppe zone burial mounds, so-called kurgans, have the potential to preserve the natural flora and act as local biodiversity hotspots. Exploration of the factors driving biodiversity in isolated habitat fragments is crucial for understanding the ecological processes shaping their vegetation and for designing effective strategies for their protection. We sampled the vegetation of
