Due to the occurrence of structurally, compositionally, and environmentally strongly different habitats in close proximity, high spatial heterogeneity is one of the key characteristics of forest-steppe ecosystems. This volume presents ten contributions examining forest-steppe heterogeneity and its effects on environmental factors, plant communities, and animals.Research & information: generalbicsscabundancearthropod predationcarbon cyclingcommunity compositionconnectivityDanube-Tisza Interfluvedecompositiondiversitydrought tolerancedummy caterpillarduration curveecological valuesecosystem degradationecosystem functionecosystem serviceedge effectFestuca pseudovaginataFestuca vaginataFestuca wagneriforest beltforest steppeforest-steppeforest-steppe ecotoneforest-steppe ecotoneforest-steppesfragment sizeGeotrupidaegrasslandgrazing-mowinghydraulic strategyhydraulic traitindicator speciesinterspecific associationinterspecific relationshipskurganland uselandscape-scalemoisture changemorphotaxonomynatural stable isotope abundanceNDVInitrogen cyclingpedological analysispollen analysisposition migrationsandy grasslandsandy grasslandsScarabaeidaeseed predationsemiarid forestssensor networkSentinel-2AShannon diversityshrub encroachmentsoil organic matterspatial patternspatio-temporal microclimate patternspecies co-occurrencespecies richnesstemperate grasslandtemperate savannatemperature-humidity data loggervapour pressure deficitResearch & information: generalErdos Laszloedt73261Erdos LaszloothBOOK9910557395003321Spatial Heterogeneity of Forest-Steppes3032041UNINA
