Iberian Steppes [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

Extrazonal steppes of forest belt on eastern macroslope of the Urals

open access: yesBIO Web of Conferences, 2019
Extrazonal steppes of forest belt on eastern macroslope of the Middle and South Urals have small coenotic diversity. The most part of studied communities are petrophytic steppes on outcrops, which determine regional features of plant cover and provide ...

Restoring steppe landscapes: patterns, drivers and implications in Russia’s steppes [PDF]

open access: yesLandscape 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 ...

Patterns in steppe meadow vegetation at the border of Forest-steppe and Steppe zones of the Southern Ural [PDF]

open access: yesSamara Journal of Science, 2020
The patterns (mosaicity) in steppe meadow vegetation were characterized at the border of Forest-steppe and Steppe zones of the Southern Ural by hierarchical continuum concept theory for Troitskiy state natural complex preserve example. It has been established that the discordant natural region bring about mosaicity destruction micro-patterns are fuzzy,

Competing Vegetation Structure Indices for Estimating Spatial Constrains in Carabid Abundance Patterns in Chinese Grasslands Reveal Complex Scale and Habitat Patterns

open access: yesInsects, 2020
Carabid communities are influenced by landscape features. Chinese steppes are subject to increasing desertification processes that are changing land-cover characteristics with negative impacts on insect communities. Despite those warnings, how land-cover

Plant Community Traits Respond to Grazing Exclusion Duration in Alpine Meadow and Alpine Steppe on the Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Grazing exclusion has been a primary ecological restoration practice since the implement of “Returning Grazing Land to Grassland” program in China. However, the debates on the effectiveness of grazing exclusion have kept for decades.
