The asymmetric responses of carabid beetles to steppe fragmentation in Northwest China
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020 It is acknowledged that human activities have initiated and increased steppe habitat loss and fragmentation in Northwest China. Carabid beetles are often used as bioindicators of environmental change because they are extremely sensitive to disturbance ...

A comparison of relative pollen productivity from forest steppe, typical steppe and desert steppe in Inner Mongolia [PDF]
Chinese Science Bulletin, 2016 Relative pollen productivity (RPP) is the ratio of the absolute pollen productivity of a certain pollen taxon to the pollen reference taxon. It is an important parameter that can be used for quantitative reconstruction of paleovegetation at a landscape scale.

Impact of Extreme Climate on the NDVI of Different Steppe Areas in Inner Mongolia, China
Remote Sensing, 2022 The frequency of extreme climate events has increased resulting in major changes to vegetation in arid and semi-arid areas. We selected 12 extreme climate indices and used trend analysis and multiple linear regression models to analyze extreme climate ...

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.

The relationships between structure and function of plant communities in the desert steppe. [PDF]
BMC Plant BiolAssessing the relationships between spatial and temporal structures and functions of plant communities is an effective way to understand the changing dynamics of plant communities in specific environments. In this study, we investigated the response of structural and functional stabilities of plant communities to stocking rate in the desert steppe over
