This text is not an ex-post-analysis, but rather ex-ante-introduction into some challenges of a planned exposition on the “Mongol Uls” (State Mongolia) from museum learning perspective. The Mongolian-German “Dschingis Khan” 800th anniversary largest empire in world’s history was great success with visitors. Therefore, Mongolian Foreign Minister asked German Ambassador for new topic to repeat this success. Senckenberg Museum Görlitz and Saxonian Institute Cultural Infrastructures proposed thematise socio-economic environmental steppe two perspectives: natural sciences’ one, cultural one. working title „Steppenwächter––Guards Steppe “. Funds provided, we plan open September 2026 through January 2027 at Dresden Japanisches Palais; may then go tour (including be Budapest) finish Seoul, stay Ulaanbaatar around 2031. Confirmed collaboration will Natural History Collections (SNSD), National Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia Cluster University Vienna, other partners. politics (male) society stick extremely Dshingisism as national ideology. But solution nowadays immense structural problems? Target point following question: What audience do after leaving exposition? Ideally, her or his task shape future Mongolia. “Become guardian! Your ideas might eventually enter internet site, discussed by Youth parliament.”

Evaluating the ecological vulnerability of northwestern region Liaoning Province, a typical ecologically vulnerable area in China, and exploring its inherent patterns help formulate effective measures for protection restoration. Existing studies this have focused on county, city, or provincial level, failing to capture overall vulnerability. Based "sensitivity-degradation" model framework, study employed Analytic Hierarchy Process, Principal Component Analysis, geographical detector methods evaluate Province from 2000 2022 analyzed possible driving factors. The results showed that, 2022, areas with moderate higher accounted an average 64.7% total area, while severely extremely 32.5%. These are mainly distributed along both banks Liuhe River northern part where it adjoins Horqin Sandy Land. From decreasing trend, proportion severe significantly 35.6% 8.6%. Vegetation land use were primary factors leading long-term changes This research can also provide example similar issues other areas.

Rangeland desertification risk has significantly increased due to the fragility of these ecosystems and severity degradation caused by climate instability human activities over last decade. This research focuses on identifying indicators rangeland using a qualitative grounded theory approach based perspectives pastoralists in Kolijah Qolaq-Borte, Golestan Province, Iran. The study population comprised regional pastoralists, with 15 experts selected through snowball sampling. Data collection was conducted in-depth, semi-structured interviews, thematic analysis carried out via open, axial, selective coding. Results revealed three primary categories indicators: "vegetation," "employment income sources," "climate natural hazards," scoring 3.08, 3.00, 2.80, respectively. Meanwhile, "water water resources," "animal health diseases," "participation social capital" were identified as less significant. Key findings emphasize importance vegetation decline, reduced forage quality prevalence unpalatable plants serving prominent signs desertification. Additionally, socio-economic impacts, including animal husbandry costs livelihood resilience, highlight multifaceted nature risk. underscores critical need for targeted conservation policies, incorporating local knowledge enhance restoration sustainable management practices. By key their this provides valuable insights mitigating promoting resilience rangelands pastoralist communities.

Despite significant advancements in building technologies, a critical gap exists understanding how Solar Heat Gain and the Cooling Effect of Ventilation (CEV) interact high-rise residential buildings. These two factors, which are crucial for achieving thermal comfort, operate opposing directions: leads to heat retention an increase indoor temperature, while CEV promotes cooling reduces temperature. This contradiction creates complex dynamic that is not well-understood, particularly context bedrooms with varying window configurations. study addresses this by investigating seasonal interplay between Window Opening Area (WOA), Gain, CEV, explicitly focusing on their variability impact different glazing configurations (double- triple-glazed windows). research conducted Dongguan, China, employs field measurements from seven winter summer. The uses advanced instruments such as pyranometers anemometers capture precise data solar radiation, airflow, enabling detailed analysis effects WOA results reveal distinct behaviours CEV. dominates winter, comfort. Smaller WOAs enhance net gain, especially configurations, where values 0.32 m2 reached 281-387 W, yielding positive Net Thermal up + 204 W. Conversely, larger during facilitated minimal through ventilation, reducing effect compromising warmth. In summer, emphasis shifts ventilation cooling, becoming primary driver For fully open (1.3 m2), double-glazed rooms demonstrated reaching 1327 resulting negative - 41 60 Triple glazing, 1001 W offered less effective natural peaking at 1179 Regression underscores strong correlation WOA, systems exhibiting higher sensitivity changes. highlights necessity adjusting seasonally-smaller openings maximise retention, summer optimise cooling. bridges knowledge gaps comfort optimisation buildings, emphasising balance required types adjustments. findings provide actionable insights architects engineers, supporting adaptive design strategies gain aligning sustainability goals energy-efficient urban living.

This study aims to identify components and change patterns of runoff basin, quantitatively assess impacts climate overgrazing on runoff. Future changes river basin were simulated under three scenarios. assessed using HYPE model five attribution assessment results are as follows: (1) Monthly shows typical bimodal characteristics. Snowmelt is primary contributor from March mid-April, while precipitation has largest contribution remaining months. (2) During growing season, a more significant impact reducing than change, caused by complex monthly scale at annual scale. (3) Among development scenarios, SSP126 with low levels greenhouse gas emissions appeared be most suitable for sustainable healthy grassland inland basin.
