Effect of desertification on productivity in a desert steppe [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractDesertification, 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, we used a space-for-time method to quantify the impact of five different desertification regimes (

Capacity of grass species shoots to recovery of steppe and desert steppe zones
Mongolian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2020 In this research study we determined regeneration capacity of the dominate vegetative plants and shoot formation in steppe and desert-steppe zones. To determine shoot regeneration we selected Stipa krylovii from the steppe zone and Stipa gobica, Cleistogenes songorica from desert steppe zones.
