Divergent Responses of Grassland Productivity to Large-Scale Atmospheric Circulations Across Ecoregions on the Mongolian Plateau by Cuicui Jiao, Xiaobo Yi, Ji Luo, Ying Wang, Yuanjie Deng, Xiao Guo

“…Temperature was a secondary yet important factor influencing ANPP variations in the Ordos Plateau arid steppe. Cloud cover affected ANPP in Sukhbaatar and central Dornod, Mongolia. (3) The Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation affected ANPP by regulating temperature in the Ordos Plateau arid steppe ecoregion, whereas precipitation occurred in the other ecoregions. …”

Element Geochemical Analysis of the Contribution of Aeolian Sand to Suspended Sediment in Desert Stream Flash Floods by Xiaopeng Jia, Haibing Wang

“…Here, we identified the aeolian-fluvial cycling process responsible for the high rate of suspended sediment transport in the Sudalaer desert stream in the Ordos plateau of China. On the basis of element geochemistry data analysis, we found that aeolian sand was similar to suspended sediment in element composition, which suggests that aeolian sand contributes to suspended sediment in flash floods. …”

An Analysis of Vegetation Change Trends and Their Causes in Inner Mongolia, China from 1982 to 2006 by Baolin Li, Wanli Yu, Juan Wang

“…In or to the south of Horqin Sandy Land, in the Hetao Plain, and at the northern foothills of the YinshanMountain, the significant NDVI increase trends were mainly caused by the increase of the millet yield per unit of cropland. In the east of Ordos Plateau, the significant NDVI increase trends were mainly determined by the fencing and planting of grasses and trees on grassland.…”
