INTRODUCTION The mission of the Grasslands Protected Areas Task Force of the World Commission on Protected Areas is: To promote and facilitate the establishment of new or expanded grassland protected areas throughout the grasslands biome, with a priority on temperate grasslands, toward a goal of protecting 10% of the temperate biome by the year 2014, and to provide for the protection, restoration and wise use of grassland protected areas through the development of best management practices and guidelines. In 2005, the J.M. Kaplan Fund invited expressions of interest designed to enhance international communication and cooperation for the protection and conservation of the world's temperate grasslands. The Grasslands Protected Area Task Force submitted a proposal and in 2006 was awarded a grant - as a result the Temperate Grasslands Conservation Initiative (TGCI) was born. To this end the TGCI scheduled a workshop on June 28-29, 2008 as part of the joint International Range Congress and International Grasslands Congress in Hohhot, China. The goals of this workshop were: To establish a global strategy and two regional-specific action plans for increased protection by 2014. To develop a mechanism for improving international communications and cooperation for the continued conservation, protection and management of the world's temperate grasslands. To establish a Steering Committee to help guide the Project Team and implement the global strategy and region-specific action plans. To confirm South America and East Asia as the two priority pilot regions for the project. To discuss the potential for and benefits of transboundary protected areas. This compendium is Appendix Two of the report Life in a Working Landscape: Towards a Conservation Strategy for the World's Temperate Grasslands , a record of the Temperate Grasslands Conservation Initiative workshop in Hohhot China June 28-29, 2008. Description of Temperate Grasslands For the purposes of this workshop the following description of indigenous temperate grasslands was used in an effort to achieve a consistent approach: Indigenous Temperate Grasslands : Grass and graminoid-dominated indigenous ecosystems, where seasonal climates and soils favour the dominance of perennial grasses and other graminoids; these ecosystems occur mainly in the middle latitudes and also in areas of tropical and temperate high mountains above the regional tree line where generally similar environments and temperate biogeographic affinities occur. At Hohhot there was also a discussion about an ecosystem-transboundary approach to protecting temperate grasslands. It is important that our analysis not be country-by-country, and instead present the various world regions to ensure the approach to protecting temperate grasslands isn't limited by country boundaries. 1 REGIONAL TEMPLATES ON THE STATUS OF TEMPERATE GRASSLANDS CONSERVATION AND PROTECTION PREPARED FOR THE JUNE 2008 HOHHOT, CHINA WORKSHOP LIFE IN A WORKING LANDSCAPE AUGUST 2008 Identified Temperate Grassland Regions The TGCI felt it was important to provide initial inventory and status information on the priority temperate grassland regions to the workshop participants. A participant from each region was therefore contacted and requested to complete a description and background template document on their particular grassland region. The various descriptions of the grassland templates vary from the continental level, to country to the regional level, depending on the ecosystem configuration. The 17 templates have been brought together in this compendium. The templates have been grouped together by continent, as below 1: Africa Australasia Equatorial Africa (High Altitude) Southeastern Australia Southern Africa New Guinea* New Zealand Asia China Europe Daurian Steppe Bulgaria/Romania Iran Kazakhstan North America Mongolia Canada, Mexico, United States Russia: Amur River Basin Russian Steppes South America Ukraine* Northern Andes Uzbekistan Central Andean Grasslands Río de la Plata Grasslands Patagonian Steppes Upon reading this compendium a 'world perspective' on temperate grasslands emerges. This context will assist in developing both a global strategy and regional approaches in East Asia and South America. This project and the progress to date would not be possible without the generous funding from the J.M. Kaplan Fund.

  • Urban Transformation in Transitional Economies: Lessons from the Mongolian Plateau
    URBAN TRANSFORMATION IN TRANSITIONAL ECONOMIES: LESSONS FROM THE MONGOLIAN PLATEAU By Hogeun Park A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Planning, Design, and Construction—Doctor of Philosophy 2018 ABSTRACT URBAN TRANSFORMATION IN TRANSITIONAL ECONOMIES: LESSONS FROM THE MONGOLIAN PLATEAU By Hogeun Park Over the past three decades, transitional economies have experienced dramatic urbanization in response to changes in the human and natural environments, resulting from economic transitions, industrial restructures, institutional reforms, and climate variability. However, our knowledge of the causes and processes of urbanization in transitional economies remains limited. Here, I used the Mongolian Plateau (MGP), including Inner Mongolia in China (IM) and Mongolia (MG), as a testbed for studying the processes and causes of urbanization. I also investigated urban challenges and the policy implications of those issues. The dissertation is set to three research objectives: (1) understanding the processes of urbanization in the MGP, (2) analyzing the driving forces of rural-to-urban migration, and (3) identifying urban challenges and proposing policy solutions. For the first objective, I analyzed the spatial characteristics of urbanization in six cities (Hohhot, Baotou, and Ulanqab in IM, and Ulaanbaatar, Erdenet, and Darkhan in MG) using remote sensing analyses, computed the urban growth rates, population density, and discontiguity (i.e., leap-frogging index) of each city from 1990 through 2015, and applied structural equation models. I found divergent spatial patterns of urbanization in IM and MG and the differential institutional supports and industrial structures contributing to these disparities. For the second objective, I used household surveys to analyze the forces driving rural-to- urban migration, complemented with remote sensing tools to estimate the actual environmental conditions of respondents’ former residences.

Oromia is the largest National Regional State of Ethiopia. Here we present the first comprehensive checklist of its birds. A total of 804 bird species has been recorded, 601 of them confirmed (443) or assumed (158) to be breeding birds. At least 561 are all-year residents (and 31 more potentially so), at least 73 are Afrotropical migrants and visitors (and 44 more potentially so), and 184 are Palaearctic migrants and visitors (and eight more potentially so). Three species are endemic to Oromia, 18 to Ethiopia and 43 to the Horn of Africa. 170 Oromia bird species are biome restricted: 57 to the Afrotropical Highlands biome, 95 to the Somali-Masai biome, and 18 to the Sudan-Guinea Savanna biome.

The PAH levels were generally low over the year; however, the PAH concentrations increased according to one of two seasonal trends, which were either an increase in PAHs during the cold period, influenced by heating, or a PAH enrichment during the wet period due to higher run-off inputs. The major PAH source was the combustion of fossil fuels and biomass, but a minor input of petrogenic PAHs in some seasons was observed. Higher PAH concentrations were observed in fresh and brackish water compared to the saline waters in the Tumen River estuary, while the PAH concentrations in both types of water were similar in the Partizanskaya River estuary, suggesting different pathways of PAH input into the estuaries.

  • Spatial Distribution of Nematode Communities Along the Salinity Gradient in the Two Estuaries of the Sea of Japan
    Russian Journal of Nematology, 2019, 27 (1), 1 – 12 Spatial distribution of nematode communities along the salinity gradient in the two estuaries of the Sea of Japan Alexandra A. Milovankina and Natalia P. Fadeeva Far Eastern Federal University, Sukhanov Street 8, 690950, Vladivostok, Russia e-mail: [email protected] Accepted for publication 15 May 2019 Summary. Spatial distribution and structure of nematode assemblages in two estuaries (long lowland Razdolnaya and mountain Sukhodol rivers, the Sea of Japan) were investigated. Sampling was conducted from freshwater to marine benthic habitats. The meiobenthic community was strongly dominated by nematodes. In both estuaries, the spatial distribution of nematode density, composition and feeding types related to the salinity gradient. From a total of 57 nematode species, 42 and 40 nematode species were identified in each estuary, respectively. The changes in the taxonomic structure of nematode fauna were found along the salinity gradient. Differences in nematodes community observed along each estuarine gradient were much lower than between the two estuaries. Only four species Anoplostoma cuticularia, Axonolaimus seticaudatus, Cyatholaimus sp. and Parodontophora timmica, were present in all sampling zones of both estuaries. Most of the recorded species were euryhaline, described previously in shallow coastal bays; only five freshwater species have been described previously from the freshwater habitat of Primorsky Krai. Key words: community structure, euryhaline nematodes, free-living nematodes, Razdolnaya River estuary, Sukhodol River estuary. Free-living nematodes are an important are available from several estuaries (Fadeeva, 2005; component of both marine and estuarine ecosystems Shornikov & Zenina, 2014; Milovankina et al., (Giere, 2009; Mokievsky, 2009). It has been shown 2018).

  • Connochaetes Gnou – Black Wildebeest
    Connochaetes gnou – Black Wildebeest Blue Wildebeest (C. taurinus) (Grobler et al. 2005 and ongoing work at the University of the Free State and the National Zoological Gardens), which is most likely due to the historic bottlenecks experienced by C. gnou in the late 1800s. The evolution of a distinct southern endemic Black Wildebeest in the Pleistocene was associated with, and possibly driven by, a shift towards a more specialised kind of territorial breeding behaviour, which can only function in open habitat. Thus, the evolution of the Black Wildebeest was directly associated with the emergence of Highveld-type open grasslands in the central interior of South Africa (Ackermann et al. 2010). Andre Botha Assessment Rationale Regional Red List status (2016) Least Concern*† This is an endemic species occurring in open grasslands in the central interior of the assessment region.

  • Tracing Population Movements in Ancient East Asia Through the Linguistics and Archaeology of Textile Production

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Archaeolinguistics, a field which combines language reconstruction and archaeology as a source of infor- mation on human prehistory, has much to offer to deepen our understanding of the Neolithic and Bronze Age in Northeast Asia. So far, integrated comparative analyses of words and tools for textile production are completely lacking for the Northeast Asian Neolithic and Bronze Age. To remedy this situation, here we integrate linguistic and archaeological evidence of textile production, with the aim of shedding light on ancient population movements in Northeast China, the Russian Far East, Korea and Japan. We show that the transition to more sophisticated textile technology in these regions can be associated not only with the adoption of millet agriculture but also with the spread of the languages of the so-called ‘Transeurasian’ family. In this way, our research provides indirect support for the Language/Farming Dispersal Hypothesis, which posits that language expansion from the Neolithic onwards was often associated with agricultural colonization.
