Distribution Characteristics of Carbon Density in Plant–Soil System of Temperate Steppe and Temperate Desert in the Longzhong Loess Plateau

Agriculture
Grassland, as a key component of the carbon cycle in terrestrial ecosystems, is vital in confronting global climate change. Characterising the carbon density of grassland ecosystems in the Longzhong Loess Plateau is important for accurately assessing the

Histopathological investigation of wound healing activities of Lucilia sericata Larva and Achillea sintenisii extract combinations in diabetic rat wound model

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Lucilia sericata larvae secrete bioactive compounds that promote wound debridement and antimicrobial defence in chronic tissue injuries. Achillea sintenisii extract offers phytotherapeutic support, enhancing healing through anti‐inflammatory and regenerative properties. Diabetic Wistar rats were treated topically with Furacin®, larval secretions, plant

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,

Tuning Xylan Polymerisation Enhanced Fibre Digestibility Without Biomass Loss in Sheepgrass (Leymus chinensis)

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Leymus chinensis (sheepgrass), a dominant perennial grass of the Eurasian Steppe, is a crucial source of carbohydrates and energy for ruminants. However, the lignocellulose recalcitrance severely limits its digestibility. Here, we targeted xylan, a major hemicellulose interacting with cellulose and lignin in cell wall. To improve digestibility,

Intensification in pastoralist cereal use coincides with the expansion of trans-regional networks in the Eurasian Steppe

, 2019
The pace of transmission of domesticated cereals, including millet from China as well as wheat and barley from southwest Asia, throughout the vast pastoralist landscapes of the Eurasian Steppe (ES) is unclear.

Phytogenic mounds (nebkhas): effect of Tricomaria usillo on sand entrapment in central-west of Argentina [PDF]

, 2016
Nebkhas, developed by the trapping of sand within the body of a plant, were studied in the Médanos Grandes system, arid central Argentina, during the springs of 2009-2010.In this system, formed by megadunes and overlapping dunes, nebkhas dynamism was ...

A matter of timing: sagebrush steppe restoration seeding outcomes altered by species responses to warmer spring temperatures and interannual weather variation

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoration outcomes in cold desert ecosystems like sagebrush steppe are affected by weather variability, particularly during the spring, a critical time period for seedling establishment. Seedling emergence phenology is also highly variable among species in these ecosystems.

Response of plant traits of Stipa breviflora to grazing intensity and fluctuation in annual precipitation in a desert steppe, northern China

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
As a grassland type distributed in the desert steppe with warmer climate in the steppe region of central Asia, Stipa breviflora steppe has the following characteristics, i.e. transition and vulnerability.

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)
