Desert-steppe elements in the flora of the Mountain Altai

Проблемы ботаники Южной Сибири и Монголии
This study examines the characteristics of vegetation in the semi-arid regions of Southern Siberia (Southeast Altai, South-Western and Southern Tuva, and the southern areas of Transbaikalia and Dauria). Extreme temperature conditions (average January temperature: –25 to –30 °С, average July temperature: +25 to +30 °С) and low precipitation (100–150 mm)

Species richness is regulated by shallow soil moisture under variable precipitation

Global Ecology and Conservation
Context: Climate change exacerbates global precipitation imbalances, with potential impacts on plant diversity in desert steppe ecosystems. Compared with meadow and typical steppes, desert steppe could be more sensitive to changing precipitation. However,

Single‐grain K‐feldspar luminescence dating on primary and re‐deposited aeolian sediments in Mongolia

Boreas, EarlyView.
Owing to its location in the semi‐arid region of northern Central Asia, Mongolia is highly sensitive to climate change and therefore provides an excellent setting for palaeoenvironmental research. Proxy data from different sediment types are crucial for interpreting past climate changes and landscape evolution, while burial ages provide chronological ...

1170. Allium kollmannianum Brullo, Pavone & Salmeri

Curtis's Botanical Magazine, EarlyView.
Summary Allium kollmannianum is a small, late‐spring to early‐summer blooming Allium, endemic to the Negev Desert in south Israel, and previously thought to be extremely rare and critically endangered. Here we expand new information regarding its distribution and habitat in the Negev Desert, and a new estimation of its threat level, considering the new

On the importance of shelter availability for reptiles provided by burrow‐digging ecosystem engineers: A systematic review and a case study

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
In this article, we show that ground burrows influenced reptile populations inconsistently across both the 5‐year field study in the Kiskunság and the broader systematic review, which together revealed positive, negative, and neutral effects across species and habitat types.

The Impact of Smoothing Techniques on Vegetation Phenology Extraction: A Case Study of Inner Mongolia Grasslands

Agronomy
The selection of data smoothing methods is one of the key steps in extracting land surface phenology parameters from time-series remote sensing data. However, existing studies often use default parameters for denoising the time-series data, neglecting ...

Geographical distribution of Hyalomma marginatum Koch, 1844 in northwestern Spain from 2019 to 2024: A one health approach

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
This study confirms the presence of the tick Hyalomma marginatum Koch, 1844, a known vector of the Crimean‐Congo hemorrhagic fever virus at Galicia. Most ticks were encountered on humans and livestock, with numbers rising between 2019 and 2024, especially during spring and in warm‐summer Mediterranean southwest areas of the studied region.
