Ecological and Management Drivers of Population Fluctuations in the Goitered Gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa) Across Iran

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We analysed 16 years of census data from 27 protected areas across Iran to identify factors associated with population growth in the goitered gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa). Population dynamics were associated primarily with protection history and management characteristics and with water availability in surrounding landscapes, while broad‐scale ...

Current and Future Distributions of Allium karataviense and A. turkestanicum in Central Asia Using MaxEnt Modeling

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
The study used Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) modeling to assess the current and future potential distributions of Allium karataviense Regel and A. turkestanicum Regel. The modeling was conducted under three climate change scenarios (SSP1‐2.6, SSP2‐4.5, and SSP5‐8.5) across three future periods, 2030s, 2070s, and 2090s. Based on the results, the Western Tien

Effects of Climatic Factors and Disturbance on Plant Above‐Ground Biomass and Species Diversity of Chinese Grasslands: A Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This meta‐analysis across China reveals that grassland biomass is primarily driven by human disturbance and precipitation, while biodiversity is more influenced by climate. Both metrics perform better under mowing and fencing than grazing, with biodiversity and biomass generally sharing a positive linear relationship.

The Mean Temperature of the Coldest Season is the Main Factor Influencing the Relationship Between Biodiversity and Biomass in the Desert Shrubland of Western Inner Mongolia

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Shrub biomass was directly determined by mean winter temperature and soil pH, whereas species richness had no significant direct effect. Climatic factors modulated the biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationship indirectly through biomass, underscoring winter temperature as a critical driver for predicting ecosystem responses to climate change ...

Nitrogen Sensitivity of Soil Microorganism Community in Alpine Desert Steppe is Not Always Higher than that in Alpine Steppe

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
A rapid increase in nitrogen deposition has caused many hazards to the Tibetan Plateau over the past few decades. However, as one of the important limiting factors in alpine ecosystems, nitrogen fertilizers are often used to restore the severely degraded grassland.

Seasonal grazing on the characteristic of plant communities in the desert steppe

open access: yes, 2022
To explore the impact of seasonal rotational grazing on the plant community characteristics of desert grassland, this study took the desert grassland of Yanchi County, Ningxia, as the research object and enclosed grassland (FY) as the control. Four warm-seasons four area rotational grazing methods were set, including traditional time grazing (FG ...

Periodicity of plant yield and its response to precipitation in the steppe desert of the Tianshan Mountains region

open access: yes, 2010
Plant yield and precipitation data from 23 to 29 years of field-based work were used to investigate the periodicity of the annual yield of Seriphidium-steppe desert (wormwood grassland) and its response to precipitation change in the lower Tianshan ...

Effects of wildfire on the distribution of mammals and birds in a working shrub‐steppe landscape

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The intensity, frequency, and extent of wildfire have increased drastically in the sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecoregion within Washington, USA, over the last few decades. Wildfire on this landscape, already modified and fragmented by agriculture and other disturbances, may challenge the persistence of wildlife that depend on continuous ...

Effects of Grazing Intensity on Soil Microbial Community Characteristics in Desert Steppe

open access: yesShuitu Baochi Xuebao
[Objective] Investigating the response mechanism of soil microbial communities to changes in grazing intensity can provide scientific theoretical and technical support for ecological protection and restoration of desert steppe.
