Stem hydraulic capacitance decreases with drought stress : implications for modelling tree hydraulics in the Mediterranean oak Quercus ilex [PDF]
, 2017 Hydraulic modelling is a primary tool to predict plant performance in future drier scenarios. However, as most tree models are validated under non-stress conditions they may fail when water becomes limiting.

A comparison of relative pollen productivity from forest steppe, typical steppe and desert steppe in Inner Mongolia [PDF]
Chinese Science Bulletin, 2016 Relative pollen productivity (RPP) is the ratio of the absolute pollen productivity of a certain pollen taxon to the pollen reference taxon. It is an important parameter that can be used for quantitative reconstruction of paleovegetation at a landscape scale.

Climatically driven loss of calcium in steppe soil as a sink for atmospheric carbon [PDF]
, 2008 During the last several thousand years the semi‐arid, cold climate of the Russian steppe formed highly fertile soils rich in organic carbon and calcium (classified as Chernozems in the Russian system).

The Glacier Complexes of the Mountain Massifs of the North-West of Inner Asia and their Dynamics [PDF]
, 2011 The subject of this paper is the glaciation of the mountain massifs Mongun-Taiga, Tavan-Boghd-Ola, Turgeni- Nuru, and Harhira-Nuru. The glaciation is represented mostly by small forms that sometimes form a single complex of domeshaped peaks ...

Adaptation of sheep breedings systems to changes in the Allgerian steppe context - Case of the region of M'Msila [PDF]
, 2019 The Algerian steppe extends over an area of 20 million hectares (rainfall between 100 and 400 mm/year). It supports a grazed ecosystem whose balance had been found by local populations, in particular through movements of animals (Achaba and Azzaba).

Vegetation response to extreme climate events on the Mongolian Plateau from 2000 to 2010 [PDF]
, 2013 Climate change has led to more frequent extreme winters (aka, dzud) and summer droughts on the Mongolian Plateau during the last decade. Among these events, the 2000–2002 combined summer drought–dzud and 2010 dzud were the most severe on vegetation.
