Alpine plant community diversity in species–area relations at fine scale

open access: yesArctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2020
Observations of diversity in alpine vegetation appear to be scale dependent. The relations of plant species richness with surface processes and geomorphology have been studied, but patterns of beta diversity are less known.

Natural Regeneration Outperforms Active Restoration in Enhancing Biodiversity and Biomass Along an Altitudinal Gradient in Chinese Savanna Ecosystems 中国稀树灌草丛中自然恢复对生物多样性与生物量的提升效应优于人工恢复

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, EarlyView.
The impact of various restoration strategies on biodiversity and biomass in degraded savannas was evaluated across different elevation gradients. Natural regeneration co‐benefits the increasing in biodiversity and biomass in savannas, while active restoration exhibits altitude‐dependent efficacy and lower biomass accumulation capacity.

A Multi-Index Evaluation of Drought Characteristics in the Yarlung Zangbo River Basin of Tibetan Plateau, Southwest China

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
The Yarlung Zangbo River (YZR) basin occupies a crucial position in the formation and development of atmospheric circulation and climate change in the Tibetan Plateau, where is the potential trigger and amplifier in global climate fluctuations.

Combining Density Fractionation and Ca K‐Edge XANES Reveals Contrasting SOM–Mineral Association Patterns Shaped by Parent Material in Forest Soil O Horizons

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Soil organic matter (SOM) accumulation in forest soils is strongly influenced by interactions with inorganic constituents derived from parent material mineralogy. However, their role in the forest floor remains underexplored.

What is the most efficient and effective method for long-term monitoring of alpine tundra vegetation?

open access: yesArctic Science, 2016
Nondestructive estimations of plant community characteristics are essential to vegetation monitoring programs. However, there is no universally accepted method for this purpose in the Arctic, partly because not all programs share the same logistical ...

Why Alpine Botany? [PDF]

open access: yesAlpine Botany, 2011
From 1891 on, the Swiss Botanical Society (SBG/SBS) was editing the Bulletin of the Swiss Botanical Society, named Botanica Helvetica since 1981. Publishing a scientific journal was always one of the most prominent activities of the society. From the beginning, botanical studies on mountains and from alpine areas had a prominent place in the journal ...

Alternative foraging strategies enable a mountain ungulate to persist after migration loss

open access: yesEcosphere, 2017
The persistence of many migratory ungulate populations worldwide is threatened due to anthropogenic impacts to seasonal ranges and migration routes. While many studies have linked migratory ungulate declines to migration disruption or loss, very few have

In search of the authentic nation: landscape and national identity in Canada and Switzerland [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
While the study of nationalism and national identity has flourished in the last decade, little attention has been devoted to the conditions under which natural environments acquire significance in definitions of nationhood.
