Desert Steppe Ecosystem

2020
This chapter focuses on Chinese desert steppe ecosystems. It introduces in brief the areal extent and provincially based distribution of this ecosystem type, simply discusses the relevant physical features and climatic characteristics at a regional scale, elaborates in great detail upon the flora, fauna, and microflora composing the various desert ...

Haloalkaliphilic actinomycetes in soils of Mongolian desert steppes

Biology Bulletin, 2007
The abundance of actinomycetes isolated from the soils of Mongolian desert steppes varies from several thousand to hundreds of thousands of CFU/g soil, depending on soil type and isolation medium. Eight actinomycete genera have been found in these soils: Streptomyces, Micromonospora, Saccharopolyspora, Actinomadura, Microtetraspora, Thermomonospora ...

Validation of Soil Moisture Retrieval in Desert Steppe Area

IGARSS 2019 - 2019 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2019
Surface soil moisture (SM) plays a decisive function during the grassland degradation and restoration process. In this paper, a surface soil moisture retrieval model in desert steppe area with improved spatial resolution is established using diurnal temperature range (DTR) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI).

Effects of precipitation and grazing on the diversity and productivity of desert steppe

Land Degradation & Development, 2023
AbstractThe variability of annual precipitation and grazing are primary drivers shaping the structure and function of plant communities in grasslands. Yet it remains unclear on a mechanistic understanding of how annual precipitation and grazing affect the plant community structure, function, and their linkage via direct or indirect pathways.

Steppe and desert in the light of lichen vegetation.

Proceedings of the Linnean Society of London, 1937
Summary. .1. Bare places of the desert bear a rich cover of lower plants, i.e. of lichens. 2. Lichens may be of great use in defining the floristic characteristic of steppe and desert. 3. With the help of lichens it is possible to prove the identity of the desert in Egypt and in Southern Palestine. 4. A similarity of the desert
