Simulated heat waves affected alpine grassland only in combination with drought [PDF]
, 2015 The Alpine region is warming fast, and concurrently, the frequency and intensity of climate extremes are increasing. It is currently unclear whether alpine ecosystems are sensitive or resistant to such extremes.

Insect Science, EarlyView.The Moorland Clouded Yellow (Colias palaeno) benefited from cattle grazing in three different ways by (i) fostering the nectar supply; (ii) enhancing rejuvenation of the host plant (Vaccinium uliginosum); and (iii) improving microclimatic conditions for successful development of the immature stages.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.In Alpine chamois, the complete wear of the first molar coincides with the beginning of senescence and the progress of tooth wear on calcareous substrate is slower than the one on other substrates, increasing life expectancy. Thus, the first molar wear may actually be considered as an effective descriptor of senescence stage.

PlantsTopography has an important influence on plant–soil relationships. However, research on plant–soil relationships in alpine grassland at the slope aspect and slope position scales is currently inadequate.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We study that browsing by wapiti reduces the growth of saplings, and it develop chemical defenses to prevent themselves browsed again. These results reduce our concern about wapiti browse T. cuspidate saplings, and provide basic data for the study of the interaction between them, and also provide theoretical basis for the population restoration and ...

Should we promote grassland ? A microeconomic analysis
, 2002 Unfavourable or no incentives at all make the farmers use insufficient grassland areas, from the society's and economic efficiency's point of view. On the one hand the CAP premium encourage to exploit more crops and less grasslands than what real profit ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Our analysis revealed that while climate strongly influenced species distributions, habitat change drove most observed delays in distribution responses. In terms of community ecology, dispersed communities exhibited shorter time lags than concentrated groups. Analyses of lag duration revealed a 5–6‐year distribution lag effect in high‐altitude ungulate

Grazing increased alpine grassland soil respiration rates on the Tibetan Plateau
Frontiers in Soil ScienceIntroductionGrazing activities were intensive in alpine grasslands and may alter the soil respiration rates across the Tibetan Plateau. However, grazed alpine grassland soil respiration rates and their underlying driving mechanisms remain unclear across ...

Invasion Alters Plant and Mycorrhizal Communities in an Alpine Tussock Grassland
OecologiaAbstract Plant invasions now impact even the world’s most remote ecosystems, including alpine zones, altering key mutualisms that affect ecosystem functions. Plant-mycorrhizal associations can be sensitive to invasion, but previous studies have been limited in the types of mycorrhizas examined, favouring invaders that host arbuscular ...
