Classification of the desert steppes ecosystems of Western Kazakhstan

Проблемы ботаники Южной Сибири и Монголии, 2020
The results of the steppe zone ecosystems investigation in Western Kazakhstan are presented. Theclassification of the main types of terrestrial ecosystems of the desert steppes subzone, divided by the forms of macrorelief(elevated plains, river valleys, sand massifs) and grouped into categories according to the type of water regime (automorphic ...

Enhanced net primary productivity across Inner Mongolian grasslands despite diverging stability under climate perturbations

BMC Plant Biology
Background Understanding ecosystems functioning under frequent climatic perturbations is central to predicting ecosystem stability. While studies suggest that stable ecosystems can buffer against climate extremes, there is no agreement on whether this ...

The Influence Of Vegetation On Reflected Solar Radiation In Arid And Extra-Arid Zone Of Mongolian Gobi

Geography, Environment, Sustainability, 2020
Vegetation cover has a noticeable effect on surface reflectivity and local microclimate in arid areas of Mongolian Gobi. Over the past decades, various shrub species (Haloxylon ammodendron and Calligonum mongolicum) have appeared on the previously ...

Effects of grazing and climate change on aboveground standing biomass and sheep live weight changes in the desert steppe in Inner Mongolia, China [PDF]

CONTEXT The Stipa breviflora desert steppe ecosystem is fragile and sensitive to climate change and grazing disturbance. Previous studies have reported the effects of climate change and grazing on aboveground standing biomass of the plant community and ...

The interacting effects of precipitation and microhabitat on non‐native seed predation are contingent on temporal dynamics

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding how different drivers of global change interact to shape ecological processes remains a major challenge in ecology. Climate change is reshuffling the interactions that structure communities, with major implications for biological invasions.

Vegetation condition and degradation in the steppe and desert steppe region of Bayankhongor province

Mongolian Journal of Botany
Desertification and land degradation are phenomena that reduce land productivity in dry, arid, and arid regions, and one indicator that can indicate land productivity is vegetation cover. Therefore, it is believed that land degradation can be expressed through changes in vegetation cover.

Spatiotemporal mapping the usable space of free‐roaming equids across the western United States

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Identification of the inter‐decadal (2010‐2011) enhancement‐degradation gradients in the usable space for wild equid Herd Management Areas in the Great Basin, USA. Abstract Management of feral equids in the American West is hindered by the lack of a formal habitat map and monitoring system.

Persistent and novel threats to the biodiversity of Kazakhstan’s steppes and semi-deserts

Biodiversity and Conservation, 2016
Temperate grasslands have suffered disproportionally from conversion to cropland, degradation and fragmentation. A large proportion of the world’s remaining near-natural grassland is situated in Kazakhstan. We aimed to assess current and emerging threats to steppe and semi-desert biodiversity in Kazakhstan and evaluate conservation research priorities.
