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: generalbicssccarbon cyclingnatural stable isotope abundancenitrogen cyclingsoil organic mattertemperate grasslanddrought toleranceforest–steppe ecotonehydraulic strategyhydraulic traitinterspecific associationinterspecific relationshipsspecies co-occurrencesemiarid forestsduration curveforest steppesensor networkspatio-temporal microclimate patterntemperature–humidity data loggervapour pressure deficitpollen analysisforest beltforest-steppe ecotoneposition migrationmoisture changeshrub encroachmentspatial patterntemperate savannaecosystem degradationsandy grasslandsDanube-Tisza Interfluvemorphotaxonomyabundancecommunity compositiondecompositionShannon diversityecosystem serviceGeotrupidaegrasslandindicator speciesland useScarabaeidaespecies richnessarthropod predationconnectivitydummy caterpillarecosystem functionedge effectforest-steppefragment sizekurganlandscape-scaleseed predationFestuca vaginataFestuca pseudovaginataFestuca wagneriecological valuespedological analysisdiversityforest-steppessandy grasslandgrazing-mowingNDVISentinel-2AResearch & information: generalErdos Laszloedt73261Erdos LaszloothBOOK9910557395003321Spatial Heterogeneity of Forest-Steppes3032041UNINA
