Effects of grazing and topography on dust flux and deposition in the Xilingele grassland, Inner Mongolia
TL;DR: The dynamics of dust emission and deposition in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia were investigated during a measuring campaign from April to May 2005 in grazed and un-grazed plots, finding that leeward slopes had 29–33% higher deposition rates than windward slopes, summits and plane positions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the grazing intensity on soil physical and mechanical properties and their interactions in a Leymus chinensis steppe of the Xilin River Basin, Inner Mongolia, China were investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive case study of a Chinese typical steppe is presented, including the balance of N gains and losses, and N cycling. But the authors focus on the effect of grazing on grassland ecosystems in the Eurasian steppe belt.

Effect of grazing on wind driven carbon and nitrogen ratios in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia
TL;DR: Based on wind erosion measurements in spring 2005 and 2006 the organic carbon and total nitrogen contents of dust were analyzed to determine the contribution of wind erosion processes on C- and N-ratios to the grasslands.

Temporal variations in PM10 and particle size distribution during Asian dust storms in Inner Mongolia
TL;DR: In this paper, two types of increased atmospheric dust concentration could be distinguished in the Xilingele grassland in the Chinese Province of Inner Mongolia, based on the dust origin i.e. local versus supra-regional type.
