Beta diversity diminishes in a chronosequence of desertification in a desert steppe
Land Degradation & Development, 2018AbstractBiodiversity is a central and multifaceted concept of community ecology, but a major challenge remains in understanding the variation mechanisms of biodiversity. Two ecological phenomena are shown in beta diversity: (a) spatial species turnover in space and (b) nestedness‐resultant of assemblages.

Soil-plant relationships of two steppe desert shrubs
Plant and Soil, 1968Greasewood and hopsage shrubs growing together on the same ground accumulated large amounts of sodium and potassium respectively. The decay of accumulated leaf litter beneath the canopy spread of these shrubs has altered the soil chemistry over about 20 per cent of the ground area.

Response of herbaceous vegetation to phosphorus fertilizer in steppe desert
Acta Ecologica Sinica, 2012In desert ecosystems,low soil moisture and high soil alkalinity decrease phosphorus(P) bioavailability,which results in a scarcity of soil P.Low soil P availability limits plant growth,development and reproduction,and consequently P is one of the most important limiting factors for vegetation growth and restoration in desert ecosystems.Furthermore ...

Monitoring Biodiversity and Ecosystem Function: Grasslands, Deserts, and Steppe
2002During the past century, land managers have grappled with methods to assess both the condition (health) and degree of change (trend) of arid landscapes [77]. Traditional approaches have focused on the documentation of various attributes of vascular plant communities [34]. More recently however, Australian and American researchers have incorporated data
