| diversity and abundance of the rumen and fecal methanogens in altay sheep native to xinjiang and the influence of diversity on methane emissions. | this study aims to investigate the influence of diet roughage proportion on the methanogenic communities from the rumen and fecal samples in altay local sheep native to xinjiang and better understand the association of methanogenic diversity or abundance with methane emissions of the ruminants. in this study, the high roughage diet was found to cause more methane emissions for either maintenance or ad-lib group, but the total methanogenic abundance was not influenced by roughage proportion and s ... | 2011 | 22038025 |
| radiocarbon-dated archaeological record of early first millennium b.c. mounted pastoralists in the kunlun mountains, china. | pastoral nomadism, as a successful economic and social system drawing on mobile herding, long-distance trade, and cavalry warfare, affected all polities of the eurasian continent. the role that arid inner asia, particularly the areas of northwestern china, kazakhstan, and mongolia, played in the emergence of this phenomenon remains a fundamental and still challenging question in prehistoric archaeology of the eurasian steppes. the cemetery of liushiu (xinjiang, china) reveals burial features, br ... | 2011 | 21911387 |
