Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChanges in the Composition and Diversity of Pasture Grass Due to the Influence of Grazing in the Steppe Zone of Northern KazakhstanAliya Baitelenova, Balzhan Akhylbekova, Meisam Zargar et al.Overgrazing poses a serious threat to the sustainability of steppe pasturelands in Northern Kazakhstan, where intensifying livestock pressure drives significant changes in vegetation composition, species diversity, and soil fertility. This study investigated the effects of grazing intensity on pasture vegetation and chestnut soil properties in the Zhaksyn district of the Akmola region. Field surveys were conducted in July-August 2024 using … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2026 · 1,338 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpecies Diversity of Lichens in the Burabay State National Park, KazakhstanAizhan Baubekova, Zhanilxan Bukabayeva, Assemgul Sarsenova et al.Lichens constitute essential components of terrestrial ecosystems, and comprehensive documentation of lichen diversity is fundamental for conservation and ecosystem management. This study investigated the species composition and ecological distribution of lichens in Burabay State National Nature Park, northern Kazakhstan. Established in 2000, the park encompasses over 100,000 hectares representing a unique forest-steppe ecotone surrounded by extensive steppe landscapes, supporting approximately … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 16 Feb 2026 · 1,828 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Impact of Changes in Forage Vegetation for Saiga (Saiga Tatarica) On Natural Pastures in The Steppe Zone of the West Kazakhstan RegionAmanay Myrzabayev, Zhanbolat Ibraibekov, Zhangeldi Ussenov et al.This study investigates the impact of recent climate changes and reduced anthropogenic pressure on the vegetation cover in the steppe regions of Russia and Kazakhstan, particularly focusing on the effects on saiga (Saiga tatarica) populations. By the late 1990s, a significant shift towards the dominance of grasses and the reduction of herbaceous plants in semi-arid and arid regions was observed, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 7 Feb 2026 · 1,765 accessesView PDFCite
