China Forest-Steppe Ecotone Database [PDF]
Biodiversity & Ecology, 2012 The China Forest Steppe Ecotone Database (GIVD ID AS-CN-001) contains releves of the forest-steppe ecotone, typical steppe and desert steppe in central part of Inner Mongolia, China as well as of the Zamin Ude region in Mongolia. Releves of the forest-steppe ecotone were recorded during the 1990s.

Soil inoculum identity and rate jointly steer microbiomes and plant communities in the field
ISME Communications, 2022 Inoculation with soil from different ecosystems can induce changes in plant and soil communities and promote the restoration of degraded ecosystems. However, it is unknown how such inoculations influence the plant and soil communities, how much inoculum ...
