Diversity of beetles in natural and planted saxaul forests in the South Gobi Desert, Mongolia
CADI Fellow Buyanjargal Batchuluun (Mongolia) investigated on species composition and diversity parameters of beetle communities in two planted saxaul (Haloxylon ammodendron, black saxaul) forests in Southern Mongolia. For comparison, nearby natural areas were studied. As a result, significant differences in the species richness and abundance between the planted and natural plots of the Ukhaa Zag forest were identified.
