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.

Climate change and alpine-adapted insects: modelling environmental envelopes of a grasshopper radiation

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2022
Mountains create steep environmental gradients that are sensitive barometers of climate change. We calibrated 10 statistical models to formulate ensemble ecological niche models for 12 predominantly alpine, flightless grasshopper species in Aotearoa New ...

Flowering phenology in alpine grassland strongly responds to shifts in snowmelt but weakly to summer drought

open access: yesAlpine Botany, 2021
Alpine plants complete their seasonal phenological cycle during two to three snow-free months. Under climate change, snowmelt advances and the risk of summer droughts increases.

The Chic-Choc Mountains are the last southern refuge for Arctic lichens in eastern North America

open access: yesArctic Science, 2016
Endemic and disjunct populations of vascular plants and cryptogams occurring in the Chic-Choc Mountains on the Gaspé Peninsula in eastern Québec, Canada, have been attracting botanists for over a century.

Polar and alpine microbiology [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2012
Scientists, politicians and the general public alike now share the conviction that understanding (micro)biology of polar and alpine systems is of paramount importance to many urgent questions related to global climate, shrinking of polar areas and disappearing of glaciers and other habitats, with the concomitant threat of species extinctions, such as ...

Low resistance of montane and alpine grasslands to abrupt changes in temperature and precipitation regimes

open access: yesArctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2019
High-elevation ecosystems will experience increasing periods of above-average warmth and altered precipitation changes because of climate change. This causes uncertainties for community properties such as productivity and biodiversity.

The ALPINE-ALMA [CII] Survey: the population of [CII]-undetected galaxies and their role in the $\mathrm{L_{[CII]}}$-SFR relation [PDF]

open access: yesA&A 660, A14 (2022), 2022
The [CII] 158$~\mu$m emission line represents so far one of the most profitable tools for the investigation of the high-redshift galaxies in the early Universe. Being one of the brightest cooling lines in the rest-frame far-infrared regime of star-forming galaxies, it has been successfully exploited as a tracer of star-formation rate (SFR) in local ...

Using Short-Term Monitoring Data to Achieve Goals in a Large-Scale Restoration

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2013
To evaluate the outcome of restoration projects, an overall goal, reformulated to specific subgoals or targets, must be explicit and translated into scientifically measurable ecological attributes.
