The MENDELU student expedition took us to the well-known sites of the Khentii Mountains, where we continued researching the forest and mapping the permafrost from earlier years.

The MENDELU student expedition was more demanding than ever this year. In total, we spent two months in Mongolia, the first month researching deep in the forests of the Khentii Mountains and the second studying soil and forest contamination around Erdenet and Ulaanbaatar.

This year's MENDELU student expedition had a groundbreaking touch, especially due to the predominance of forestry topics, the large number of participants and the departure from the original geological direction. Its destination was the southern edge of the Khentii Mountains, the Gobi Desert and Lake Khövsgöl.

This year the MENDELU student expedition was already realized in the late spring in the southern part of the Khtentii Mountains. Its main objective was to research permafrost and forest rejuvenation

One of the first student expeditions to Mongolia, mainly aimed at geological research. Its organizers were subsequently at the birth of MENDELU research activities in Mongolia.

During the implementation of the Domogt project (2015-2017), a number of forestry workshops were organized in which Czech experts participated. These were mainly FAO workshop in Sharyn Gol, FAO workshop in Ulaanbaatar and FRDC workshop in Sharyn Gol.

During the implementation of the Domogt project (2015-2017), accompanying work activities were also continuously carried out in Ulaanbaatar.

Although the Domogt project primarily targeted the forests around Sharyn Gol, forestry experts also worked closely with Darkhan University during the project implementation (2015-2017), where they helped to implement additional foil trees for seedling production.

During the implementation of the Domogt project (2015-2017), a number of research trips were undertaken within the forested areas of northern Mongolia to collect new data on the state of local forests. These sites included Bugant, Khövsgöl, Batchiret, Khonin Nuga, Tunkhel, Tujiin Nars, Gorkhi-Terelj and Udleg.

The Zulzaga area is located near Darkhan and enjoys great popularity as a holiday location with pine forests on the sands. During the course of the Domogt project (2015-2017), surveys and new plantings were carried out here to keep the sands stabilized by forest.
