Desert sagebrush-bunchgrass steppes of Central Kazakhstan

open access: yesVegetation of Russia, 2016
The considerable vegetation researches of the Kazakhstan steppes were realized in 1957–1959, 1964–1968. The vast materials with relevés of desert steppes’ communities were collected in according to the generally accepted methods of geobotanical investigations either with assistance of detailed field routes or at the scientific stations (Kratkoe…, 1952;

Grazing exclusion alters ecosystem carbon pools in Alxa desert steppe [PDF]

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, 2011
The Alxa desert steppe has been strongly degraded by overgrazing, contributing c. 22% of the total springtime dust originating from Asia. Previous work in this region has focused on the impacts of grazer exclusion on restoration of vegetation and soil fertility, yet carbon dynamics are not well known.
