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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFloodplain Plant Diversity and Anthropogenic Impacts in the Irtysh River Valley, Northeastern KazakhstanShynar Zhanybekovna Arynova, Kanat Kombarovich Akhmetov, Galymbek Sovetovich Azhayev et al.This study investigates the composition, diversity, and ecological adaptation strategies of plant communities in the Irtysh River floodplain (Northeastern Kazakhstan) under natural and anthropogenic pressures. Field-based geobotanical surveys were conducted from May to August 2024 across 40 representative plots. Standard phytocoenotic description methods were employed, along with phenological and ecological assessments.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFormation of Vegetation Cover and Soil Quality Indicators at the Mine Sites of a Gold-Bearing Deposit (the Case of Kara-Agash, Kazakhstan)Vadim Chashkov, Aliya Bugubaeva et al.At present, the processes of natural recovery, vegetation coverage, and degraded lands of several coal, iron ore, uranium, and polymetallic mines and gold-bearing deposits are well-studied. The present study aims to identify opportunities to shape the soil layer and vegetation cover on reclaimed dumps/tailings of industrial waste and degraded land via artificial restoration. For this purpose, in July 2023, studies … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 16 Sep 2024 · 4,765 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNutritive Status of Maytenus heterophylla and Acacia nilotica Leaves Cultivated in Winter from Two Varied LandscapesMzuyanda Vela, Sabelo Christian Gajana, Emrobowansan Monday IdamokoroWinter season happens to be the period prone to drought and in most cases bedeviled with incidences of low-quality veld and a corresponding high rate of livestock mortality. The present research aimed to assess the nutritive worth of Acacia nilotica as well as Maytenus heterophylla leaves in the winter season from two varied landscapes (high landscape and low landscape).

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStable Isotope Diet Reconstruction of Feral Horses on the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge, Nevada, USAMegan K. Nordquist, Todd F. Robinson, Gail H. Collins et al.Feral horse management has become a subject of significant controversy in the United States, resulting in part from opposing views of best management practices and limited empirical data. Feral horse densities increase in response to high reproductive rates and limited horse removal. with this increase, land managers are challenged with accurately quantifying horse diet selection and subsequent impacts on western … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 4 Mar 2024 · 5,390 accessesView PDFCite
