Iberian Steppes

2012
In Spain, the extensive, largely treeless areas in semi-arid environments are considered as steppes, dominated by small shrubs, with forbs and grasses (dwarf shrub steppes). The main factor for their occurrence seems to be climatic continentality and drought. The Iberian steppe vegetation contains plant species of South Mediterranean Irano-Turanian and

Effect of increasing precipitation and warming on microbial community in Tibetan alpine steppe

Environmental Research, 2020
Soil microorganisms play an important role in regulating the feedback of Alpine steppe ecosystems to future climate change. However, the interaction effect of warming and increasing precipitation on soil microorganisms remains unclear, in the face of an ...

Long-Term Warming and Nitrogen Addition Have Contrasting Effects on Ecosystem Carbon Exchange in a Desert Steppe.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2021
Desert steppe, a unique ecotone between steppe and desert in Eurasia, is considered highly vulnerable to global change. However, the long-term impact of warming and nitrogen deposition on plant biomass production and ecosystem carbon exchange in a desert

Grazing induced changes in plant diversity is a critical factor controlling grassland productivity in the Desert Steppe, Northern China

Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment, 2018
The desert steppe is a large component of the semi-arid grassland ecosystem in northern China, and provides significant resources for livestock production. However, overgrazing is regarded as one of main causes of its degradation and desertification over

Vegetation biomass and soil moisture coregulate bacterial community succession under altered precipitation regimes in a desert steppe in northwestern China

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2019
Given that soil water availability is the major limitation on plant growth in desert steppes, uncovering the connections between belowground and aboveground communities under altered precipitation regimes will improve our knowledge of the potential ...
