Restoring steppe landscapes: patterns, drivers and implications in Russia’s steppes [PDF]
Landscape Ecology, 2020 AbstractContextAgricultural land abandonment across the steppe belt of Eurasia has provided an opportunity for the restoration of steppe landscapes in recent decades. However, global food demands are about to revert this trajectory and put restored steppe landscapes at risk.ObjectivesWe analysed steppe development in southern Russia in the last 40 ...

Changes in plant species richness distribution in Tibetan alpine grasslands under different precipitation scenarios [PDF]
, 2020 Species richness is the core of biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BEF) research. Nevertheless, it is difficult to accurately predict changes in plant species richness under different climate scenarios, especially in alpine biomes.

Assessing Simulations of Imperial Dynamics and Conflict in the Ancient World [PDF]
, 2019 The development of models to capture large-scale dynamics in human history is one of the core contributions of cliodynamics. Most often, these models are assessed by their predictive capability on some macro-scale and aggregated measure and compared to ...
