The seed germination spectrum of alpine plants: a global meta-analysis.
Assumptions about the germination ecology of alpine plants are presently based on individual species and local studies. A current challenge is to synthesize, at the global level, the alpine seed ecological spectrum.

Global distribution and bioclimatic characterization of alpine biomes
Although there is a general consensus on the distribution and ecological features of terrestrial biomes, the allocation of alpine ecosystems in the global biogeographic system is still unclear.

Progressive nitrogen limitation across the Tibetan alpine permafrost region
The ecosystem carbon (C) balance in permafrost regions, which has a global significance in understanding the terrestrial C-climate feedback, is significantly regulated by nitrogen (N) dynamics.

Responses and feedback of the Tibetan Plateau’s alpine ecosystem to climate change
The Tibetan Plateau, also known as the “third pole of the Earth”, houses a diverse array of alpine-ecosystem types and serves as a critical ecological security shield for China and even for many other regions of Asia. In recent decades, the rapid climate
