Above-ground insect communities in the forest-steppe zone of northern MongoliaDOI: 10.2478/v10090-009-0020-1 Keywords: above-ground insects, communities, grasslands, Mongolia, Europe, density, biomass, diversity Abstract: Preliminary studies conducted during 2005 in natural grasslands of the forest- steppe zone in northern Mongolia concerned densities, biomass, and diversity of above-ground insect communities. The results were compared with those of long-term studies in agricultural landscapes of Europe. Differences were found in the diversity, biomass and dominance structure of insect communities between these two regions.
