Ecology of the diatom Aulacoseira pusilla in oligotrophic mountain lakes, with implications for paleoclimate reconstructions

open access: yesArctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2022
Diatoms in lake sediments are used in paleoclimate reconstructions, particularly in treeless areas such as arctic and alpine regions. Some diatom species in the Aulacoseira group are often thought to bloom as lakes turnover (i.e., mix), suggesting links ...

Spatial and Temporal Differences in Alpine Meadow, Alpine Steppe and All Vegetation of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and Their Responses to Climate Change

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Alpine meadow and alpine steppe are the two most widely distributed nonzonal vegetation types in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In the context of global climate change, the differences in spatial-temporal variation trends and their responses to climate ...

Why Is the Alpine Flora Comparatively Robust against Climatic Warming?

open access: yesDiversity, 2021
The alpine belt hosts the treeless vegetation above the high elevation climatic treeline. The way alpine plants manage to thrive in a climate that prevents tree growth is through small stature, apt seasonal development, and ‘managing’ the microclimate ...

ALPINE: A Large Survey to Understand Teenage Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesUniverse 2022, 8(6), 314, 2022
A multiwavelength study of galaxies is important to understand their formation and evolution. Only in the recent past, thanks to the Atacama Large (Sub) Millimeter Array (ALMA), were we able to study the far-infrared (IR) properties of galaxies at high redshifts.

Ancient orogenic and monsoon-driven assembly of the world’s richest temperate alpine flora

open access: yesScience, 2020
Origins of an alpine flora The evolution of high mountain floras is strongly influenced by tectonic and climatic history. Ding et al. document the timing, tempo, and mode by which the world's most species-rich alpine flora, that of the Tibet-Himalaya ...

Variation in δ13C and δ15N within and among plant species in the alpine tundra

open access: yesArctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2021
Ratios of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stable isotopes in plants are important indicators of intrinsic water use efficiency and N acquisition strategies.

Global patterns and drivers of alpine plant species richness

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, 2021
Aim: Alpine ecosystems differ in area, macroenvironment and biogeographical history across the Earth, but the relationship between these factors and plant species richness is still unexplored. Here, we assess the global patterns of plant species richness

Combining point counts and autonomous recording units improves avian survey efficacy across elevational gradients on two continents

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Accurate biodiversity and population monitoring is a requirement for effective conservation decision making. Survey method bias is therefore a concern, particularly when research programs face logistical and cost limitations.

Natural Variation in Adventitious Rooting in the Alpine Perennial Arabis alpina

open access: yesPlants, 2020
Arctic alpine species follow a mixed clonal-sexual reproductive strategy based on the environmental conditions at flowering. Here, we explored the natural variation for adventitious root formation among genotypes of the alpine perennial Arabis alpina ...
