Special issue on Palaearctic steppes published

A team of five editors led by Prof. Jürgen Dengler has published a 400-page Special Issue of the international journal “Biodiversity and Conservation” on ecology, biodiversity and conservation of Palaearctic steppes. Palaearctic steppes occur from Morocco in the west to China and Mongolia in the East, thus constituting one of the largest contiguous biomes of the world. They are underrepresented in the international conservation discussion to date.
