Precipitation and Minimum Temperature are Primary Climatic Controls of Alpine Grassland Autumn Phenology on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
Autumn phenology is a crucial indicator for identifying the alpine grassland growing season’s end date on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP), which intensely controls biogeochemical cycles in this ecosystem. Although autumn phenology is thought to be mainly

Development of Antifreezing High‐Efficiency Dust Suppressant for Railway Coal Transportation

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the process of railway coal transportation, a large amount of coal dust is dispersed, causing serious economic loss and environmental pollution. In order to improve the low‐temperature dust suppression performance, the present study has developed an antifreeze‐type, high‐efficiency railway coal transportation dust suppressant (hereinafter ...

Can alpine plant species “bank” on conservation?: Using artificial aging to understand seed longevity

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, 2022
Premise To conserve native plants, many institutions are turning toward ex‐situ conservation methods, such as storage in seed banks; however, not all seeds are able to survive in seed bank conditions, or may not in the long term.

Pocket gopher (Thomomys talpoides) soil disturbance peaks at mid-elevation and is associated with air temperature, forb cover, and plant diversity

open access: yesArctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2018
Burrowing mammals can be ecosystem engineers by increasing soil aeration and erosion and altering the structure of plant communities. Studies that characterize the constraints on the distributions of fossorial mammal disturbances to soil can help predict

The impact of urbanisation on social behaviour: a comprehensive review

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urbanisation is a key driver of global environmental change and presents animals with novel stressors and challenges. It can fundamentally influence social behaviour and has the potential to reshape within‐ and between‐species social interactions. Given the role of social behaviour in reproductive fitness and survival, understanding how social
