Impact of grazing on soil carbon and microbial biomass in typical steppe and desert steppe of Inner Mongolia.

PLoS ONE, 2012
The potential of grazing lands to sequester carbon must be understood to develop effective soil conservation measures and sustain livestock production. Our objective was to evaluate the effects of grazing on soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN),

Effect of desertification on productivity in a desert steppe [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2016
Desertification, one of the most severe types of land degradation in the world, is of great importance because it is occurring, to some degree, on approximately 40% of the global land area and is affecting more than 1 billion people. In this study,

Cenozoic evolution of the steppe-desert biome in Central Asia [PDF]

Science Advances, 2020
The origins and development of the arid and highly seasonal steppe-desert biome in Central Asia, the largest of its kind in the world, remain largely unconstrained by existing records.

Heavy grazing reduced the spatial heterogeneity of Artemisia frigida in desert steppe. [PDF]

BMC Plant Biol, 2022
Background Grazing disturbance plays an important role in the desert steppe ecosystem in Inner Mongolia, China. Previous studies found that grazing affected the spatial distribution of species in a community, and showed patchiness characteristics of ...

Distribution Characteristics of Carbon Density in Plant–Soil System of Temperate Steppe and Temperate Desert in the Longzhong Loess Plateau

Agriculture
Grassland, as a key component of the carbon cycle in terrestrial ecosystems, is vital in confronting global climate change. Characterising the carbon density of grassland ecosystems in the Longzhong Loess Plateau is important for accurately assessing the

Effect of Precipitation Change on Desert Steppe Aboveground Productivity. [PDF]

Biology (Basel)
Precipitation changes have significant impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem productivity. However, the effects of precipitation changes on species diversity have been the focus of most previous studies. Little is known about the contributions of different dimensions of biodiversity (species, functional, and phylogenetic diversity) in linking long-term

Impact of Human Activities on Hydrological Drought Evolution in the Xilin River Basin

Atmosphere, 2022
The impact of human activities on the hydrological cycle makes hydrological drought no longer a natural disaster in a strict sense, and influences the stationarity of the hydrologic process. In this context, assessment methods that consider nonstationary
