Ecosystem responses to warming and watering in typical and desert steppes [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractGlobal warming is projected to continue, leading to intense fluctuations in precipitation and heat waves and thereby affecting the productivity and the relevant biological processes of grassland ecosystems. Here, we determined the functional responses to warming and altered precipitation in both typical and desert steppes.

Ectoparasites on Meso-carnivores in the Desert-steppe of Mongolia
Mongolian Journal of Biological Sciences, 2018 Studying flea community structure on wild carnivores is important for identifying flea vectors for potential infectious diseases and providing information needed to design programs for human and wildlife health. We collected ectoparasites from 4 species of meso-carnivores in an arid Desert-steppe ecosystem of Mongolia.
