Due to the occurrence of structurally, compositionally, and environmentally strongly different habitats in close proximity, high spatial heterogeneity is one of the key characteristics of forest-steppe ecosystems. This volume presents ten contributions examining forest-steppe heterogeneity and its effects on environmental factors, plant communities, and animals UR - https://mdpi.com/books/pdfview/book/3799 UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/76374 ER -
