Ancient genomic time transect from the Central Asian Steppe unravels the history of the Scythians
Science Advances, 2021 Ancient genomic time-transect across the Central Asian Steppe sheds new light onto the origins and demise of the Scythians. The Scythians were a multitude of horse-warrior nomad cultures dwelling in the Eurasian steppe during the first millennium BCE ...

Collapse of the mammoth-steppe in central Yukon as revealed by ancient environmental DNA
Nature Communications, 2021 The temporal and spatial coarseness of megafaunal fossil records complicates attempts to to disentangle the relative impacts of climate change, ecosystem restructuring, and human activities associated with the Late Quaternary extinctions. Advances in the

The Spread of Steppe and Iranian Related Ancestry in the Islands of the Western Mediterranean
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2020 Steppe-pastoralist-related ancestry reached Central Europe by at least 2500 bc , whereas Iranian farmer-related ancestry was present in Aegean Europe by at least 1900 bc . However, the spread of these ancestries into the western Mediterranean, where they

Effects of anthropogenic revegetation on the water and carbon cycles of a desert steppe ecosystem
Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2021 The anthropogenic revegetation for combating desertification in China has been a long-term strategy that has induced shrub encroachment in desert steppe and regionally notable greening.

Grazing Effects on Mongolian Steppe Vegetation—A Systematic Review of Local Literature
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The Mongolian steppes with a long history of nomadic pastoralism cover a large area of the Palaearctic steppe biome and are still relatively intact. As livestock number has increased over the last two decades, grazing has been considered as the main ...
