Overgrazing has become an ecological problem in the wide steppes of Mongolia due to rapid livestock growth in the last two decades. Species diversity and productivity of biological communities, along with information on the presence and absence of certain species, can be indicators of environmental health to assess the state of pasture. Moths have been used as indicator species in various studies...
We studied the effects of grazing on plant community structure and total plant biomass across the landscape while taking account of nutrient gradient, from wet and nutrient‐rich sites (north‐facing steppe) to dry and nutrient‐poor sites (south‐facing steppe) in semiarid steppe of northern Mongolia. Livestock grazing increased species richness of wet and nutrient‐rich sites, while no significant change...
Topography should create spatial variation in water and nutrients and play an especially important role in the ecology of water-limited systems. We use stable isotopes to discern how plants respond both to ecological gradients associated with elevation and to neighboring legumes on a south-facing slope in the semi-arid, historically grazed steppe of northern Mongolia. Out of three target species,...
