Seasonal runoff generation in a headwater (~ 100 km 2) of the mountainous Sugnugr Basin,
situated within the discontinuous permafrost zone of northern Mongolia, was investigated …

Currently, high intensity, large-area lightning fires that burn during droughts dominate
Canada's fire regimes. However, studies from several disciplines clearly show that humans …

To examine the effects of frequent fires on species composition of the boreal forest in
northern Mongolia, we investigated regeneration patterns, including reproductive pathways …

We aimed to test the hypothesis that large-scale forest fire followed by illegal logging inhibits
the regeneration of boreal forests in Mongolia. For this purpose, we compared regeneration …

To demonstrate the dynamics of forest patches in the Mongolian forest-steppe ecotone and
examine how forest structure changes with distance from the forest edge, we investigated …

Mongolian forests experience a unique transition between two biome extremes, the Gobi
Desert and Siberian taiga. Moving from the south to the north, the journey is a spectacular …

Mongolia is one of the top 11 grassland-based countries in the world (Gibson 2009), with
110 million hectares of rangelands, or 70.5% of the total land area (National Statistical Office …

Boreal forest, the largest terrestrial biome composed of coniferous forests, covers ca. 14
million km2, accounting for 32% of the world forest cover (Burton et al. 2003). Intact forests …

Northern Mongolia faces a variety of water-related problems that are related to both, the
