Central European forest–steppe: An ecosystem shaped by climate, topography and disturbances

Journal of Biogeography, 2022
AbstractThe occurrence and origin of dry grasslands and their rich biota in the moderately humid Central‐European climate have fascinated scientists for over a century. Modern palaeoecological and phylogeographical data support earlier hypotheses that these grasslands are late Pleistocene relicts and can therefore be considered part of the Eurasian ...

Where forests meet grasslands: Forest-steppes in Eurasia

Palaearctic Grasslands - Journal of the Eurasian Dry Grassland Group, 2019
Despite the ecological, economic and conservation importance of forest-steppes, a continental scale synthesis of this complex ecosystem has been lacking. In a recent review, we compiled scattered knowledge about Eurasian forest-steppes in a new synthesis, proposed a new forest-steppe definition, reviewed how the biogeographic position of this ecosystem

Plant functional traits modulate the effects of soil acidification on above- and belowground biomass [PDF]

Biogeosciences
Atmospheric sulfur (S) deposition has been increasingly recognized as a major driver of soil acidification. However, little is known about how soil acidification influences above- and belowground biomass by altering leaf and root traits. We conducted a 3-

Forest birds of the right-bank forest-steppe of Ukraine [PDF]

Ukrainian Journal of Ecology, 2020
Forest biogeocenosis is a necessary environment for the normal existence of many species of wild animals, including birds. Recently, however, a gradual decrease in their numbers is observed in most forest areas of the Forest-Steppe zone. This indicator is one of the most important criteria for estimation of the general condition of this or that ...

The mountain forest-steppe of Tuva

Vegetation of Russia, 2007
The paper deals with the two main types of forest-steppe landscape of Tuva (the South-Central Siberia), i. e. the moderately warm forest-steppe of Eastern Tuva (the hemiboreal-forest-steppe altitudinal belt) and the moderately cold medium-height mountain forest-step­pe of Western Tuva.

Steppe and forest-steppe pine forests as refugiums in the conservation of rare and unique plant species

Asian Journal of Conservation Biology, 2021
This report includes data on rare plant species of steppe and forest-steppe pine forests. We have identified the proportion of rare species that live in the studied forests for the regions where they are located, and for Russia as a whole. We have identified regional species found only in pine forests.

Long‐Term Active Rather than Passive Restoration Promotes Soil Organic Carbon Accumulation by Alleviating Microbial Nitrogen Limitation in an Extremely Degraded Alpine Grassland

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Active restoration increases soil organic carbon stocks by reducing microbial nitrogen limitation. Nitrogen availability promotes particulate to mineral‐associated organic carbon conversion by reducing microbial carbon use efficiency. Passive restoration has no effect on soil organic carbon stocks.
