| Research Abstract |
From 2003 to 2006, we conducted ecological survey of the Eurasian steppe in four countries, Ukraine, Kaza-khstan, Mongolia and China (Inner Mongolia). Our survey was made up by 1) flora survey, 2) vegetation survey, 3) biomass survey and 4) soil profile survey.
We could gain, as a result, some new knowledge as follows;
1) The floras between eastern part and western part of Eurasian steppe differed much at the border of Kazakhstan and Mongolia. There are Altay Mountains and Tenshan Mountains there. Plants can't exceed high mountains, freely.
2) The floras between eastern part of Eurasian steppe and Japan quite differ each other in grassland, but are similar in wetland.
3) Plant communities based on species composition also differed between eastern and western part of Eurasian steppe at the border of Kazakhstan and Mongolia.
4) We could estimate a sere of succession after abandon plowing. It became clear that the biodiversity grew maximum at about ten years after abandon plowing and that 450-1000g/ha of carbon accumulated in Mongolian grassland, as a result of quadrat method of survey.
5) Soils of eastern and western part of Eurasian steppe are also different. Eastern soil is Kastanozem, while western one is Chernozem.
6) Main human impact in eastern steppe is grazing, while that of western steppe is plowing.
and
7) Consequently, many properties are different between eastern half of Eurasian steppe and western one.
