Using the area of Yabulai Mpountains, as an example, this paper provides insight into the chemistry of ground and surface water in western InnerMongolia. The recharge mechanisms of groundwater and the hydrological evolution in this region during
Thermal-contraction-crack networks as evidence for Late-Pleistocene permafrost in InnerMongolia, China

of polygonal networks. The presence of these periglacial phenomena show that the southern limit of continuous permafrost in InnerMongolia occurred south of 38°N during the Last Glacial Maximum.
The AA. report a high-resolution pollen and Pediastrum record from sediments obtained from the bed of the Lake Bayanchagan, southern InnerMongolia. Vegetation reconstruction is based on the objective assignment of pollen taxa to the plant
functional type (PFT), based on broad classes of plants defined by stature, leaf form, phenology and climatic thresholds. InnerMongolia is situated at the limit of the present East Asian monsoon and patterns of vegetation and climate changes in that region
of a single catchment, the AA. analysed a 12.08 m sediment core from Daihai Lake in InnerMongolia. Dating control was provided by Pb 210, Cs 137 and AMS C 14. The Rb/Sr ratios of the Holocene lake sediments are interpreted to be the direct results of changes
Land-use impact on soil carbon and nitrogen sequestration in typical steppe ecosystems, InnerMongolia

To explore the optimal land-use for soil carbon (C) sequestration in Inner Mongolian grasslands, the AA. investigated C and nitrogen (N) storage in soil and soil fractions in 8 floristically and topographically similar sites which subjected
to different land-use types (free-grazing, grazing exclusion, mowing, winter grazing, and reclamation). The results provided evidence that Inner Mongolian grasslands have the capacity to sequester C and N in soil with improved management practices, which were

Using a dataset up to 49 years long (1954–2002) at Toudaoguai station, this paper provides insight into the characteristics of suspended sediment transport in the Ningxia-InnerMongolia reaches of the upper Yellow River, at different temporal scales
and sediment rating curves for different seasons have different characters. The diversiform C–Q loops in the InnerMongolia reaches of the upper Yellow River may be mainly caused by the sediment inputs from tributaries, the different propagation velocity

. The objectives of this paper are to reconstruct Holocene environmental changes in this ecotonal region using multiple paleoecological data and to discuss the ecological mechanism and driving factors of Holocene desertification in southeastern InnerMongolia.
The interplay of ethnicity, environment and livelihood is seen in the materials and forms of house types in the Inner Asia portion of China. Discussed are the yurt styles of nomads in InnerMongolia and those of the Kirghiz and Kasakh peoples
