Abstract

The China Forest Steppe Ecotone Database (GIVD ID AS-CN-001) contains relevs of the forest-steppe ecotone, typical steppe and desert steppe in central part of Inner Mongolia, China as well as of the Zamin Ude region in Mongolia. Relevs of the forest-steppe ecotone were recorded during the 1990s. The communities in the forest-steppe ecotone are classified in a phytocoenological way. 12 major types of forest, shrubland, meadow, fen, open woodland and steppe are differentiated and described according to 133 relevs. Due to limited releves, the plant communities are named by their dominant species: 1. Quercus mongolicawoodland; 2. Betula platyphylla-woodland; 3. Betula dahurica-woodland; 4. Populus davidiana-woodland; 5. Picea meyeri-woodland; 6. Pinus tabulaeformis-woodland; 7.
