Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClimate-Driven Productivity Responses and Implications for Genetic Adaptation and Breeding of Boreal Trees in KazakhstanZhadyra Baigazakova, Kuralay Mazarzhanova, Asset Satayev et al.Kazakhstan’s boreal and forest-steppe forests form the southern ecotonal edge of the West Siberian taiga, where relatively small changes in heat and moisture can trigger disproportionate impacts on tree growth, mortality, and regeneration. Although forests cover only ~4% of Kazakhstan, they provide critical ecosystem services: stabilizing hydrological regimes, buffering microclimates, protecting agricultural lands from wind and water erosion, and supporting … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 10 Aug 2026 · 711 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamics of Mobile Phosphorus and Potassium in the Soils of Agricultural Lands of Kostanay RegionAlmabek Nugmanov, Aliya Yskak, Tatiana Paramonova et al.Soil phosphorus deficiency is a growing constraint on crop productivity in the agricultural lands of the Kostanay Region, Republic of Kazakhstan, yet systematic data on the spatial dynamics of mobile phosphorus and potassium across soil types remain limited. This study assessed the availability of mobile forms of phosphorus and potassium, alongside key physicochemical properties, including soil pH and cation exchange … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 14 Apr 2026 · 1,603 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProductivity and Energy Efficiency of Hybrid Sorrel (Rumex tianschanicus × Rumex patientia) Under Various Mowing and Fertilization RegimesAltinay Naziulovna Kukusheva, Ainagul Balgauovna Kaliyeva, Zarina Mukhtarovna Sergazinova et al.Hybrid sorrel (Rumex patientia × Rumex tianschanicus) is a multi-purpose crop that serves as both a fodder source and a potential biofuel feedstock. Despite growing interest in perennial forage and energy crops, limited information is available on the performance of hybrid sorrel (Rumex tianschanicus × Rumex patientia) under varying mowing and fertilization regimes, particularly in continental climates. This study aimed … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 1 Apr 2026 · 1,398 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParasites of Wild Animals Inhabiting the Territory of the Balkhash-Alakol Basin (Central Asia: Kazakhstan)Laura Zhanteliyeva, Nurgul Jussupbekova, Maratbek Suleimenov et al.This study presents data on the diversity and epizootiological significance of intestinal parasites in wild mammals inhabiting the arid Balkhash-Alakol Basin in southeastern Kazakhstan. The primary aim was to identify the range of parasites affecting local wildlife and assess potential zoonotic risks under natural ecological conditions. Field samples were collected non-invasively from three host species: Tolai hare (Lepus tolai), wild … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 27 Nov 2025 · 2,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCurrent State of a Rare, Narrowly Endemic Plant of the Flora of Kazakhstan, Rosa Potentilliflora Chrshan. et M. Pop. (Rosaceae) in Low-Mountain SyugatyChinargul Aldassugurova, Abibulla Ametov, Akmaral Nurmahanova, Aigul AkhmetovaThis study provides a comprehensive ecological assessment of Rosa potentilliflora, a rare and narrowly endemic species of the Kazakh flora, occurring exclusively in the Syugaty low-mountain range at the eastern edge of the Zailiyskiy Alatau. The species occupies southeast-facing rocky slopes within steppe vegetation belts. Three distinct cenopopulations were identified and studied using standard geobotanical and demographic methods. Within these … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 27 Nov 2025 · 2,025 accessesView PDFCite
