FOR 536 P4: Impact of grazing intensity of sheep on biomass availability, feed intake, feed quality and animal productivity in Inner Mongolian steppe (Project)
In Inner Mongolia, severe overgrazing by sheep leads to reduced grassland and animal productivity, affects soil conditions and availability of water and nutrients, and leads to deterioration of grassland. The optimum grazing intensity is not constant, but depends on soil, plant, and animal factors, that are interrelated. Sub-project P4 aims to identify the optimum grazing intensity of sheep...

Application of 2-DE-based proteomics in vitro (Project)
The application of methods of molecular toxicology is increasingly discussed also in the field of regulatory toxicology. A major issue is the question, wether these biochemical methods can be used to supplement conventional endpoints of health related toxicology. Mostly due to high costs, the use of methods of molececular toxicology (‘omics‘) is mainly restricted to pharmaceutical or industrial...

FOR 536 P6: Extrapolating water and carbon fluxes of managed grasslands in time and space based on surface and airborne observations (Project)
In Inner Mongolia’s grasslands momentum, energy, water and carbon fluxes between the surface and the atmosphere are modified by grazing and climate change. These processes have been studied in the 1st phase of the RG by micrometeorology and remote sensing. Land-use classification methods and field measurement techniques have been successfully applied to show large effects of grazing on the...

FOR 536 P7: Regional water balance and matter flow (Project)
The overall scope of subproject P7 is to assess the effects of land use on the water, C and N cycle in the Xilin watershed by combining field measurements and modeling techniques. The project follows the general philosophy of concurrent data collection and model development. Field measurements include the monitoring of 7 gauging stations in a nested set up to continuously monitor water level....

FOR 536 P8: Impact of grazing on hydraulic, thermal and mechanical soil properties of grassland soils in the steppe ecosystem of the Xilin River Basin (Inner Mongolia) (Project)
Based on the obtained results during the first period the monitoring of the soil physical properties: water content and the temperature profiles on the ungrazed and wintergrazed plots (UG 79 and WG) with Leymus chinensis will be continued as well as the corresponding sites under Stipa grandis added because Stipa dominates especially drier areas of the steppe ecosystem in the Xilin river...

FOR 536 P9: Regional identification of sensitive areas for wind-driven matter fluxes and quantification of wind-driven matter fluxes across ecosystem boundaries (Project)
Wind erosion is the main degradation problem of the soils in the Inner Mongolia steppe, mainly caused by overgrazing. The influences of grazing intensity on the basic processes of wind erosion and dust deposition were investigated in the first phase of MAGIM. Grazing intensity influences the height and density of vegetation, which is the definitive control factor whether wind erosion or dust...

FOR 536 Z1: MAGIM project coordination, coordination of MAGIM spatial experiments and development of a Geo Information System (GIS) for the Xilin river catchment (Project)
MAGIM PZ is a project for coordinating activities of participating German and Chinese MAGIM research projects. It supports MAGIM by providing logistic facilities (e.g. car pool, hiring of local workers), supervising joined research tasks (e.g. organisation, documentation, management and utilisation of MAGIM key sites), providing regional information (GIS) and organizing meetings (and scientific...
