How Passive Acoustic and Traditional Monitoring Estimate Bird Diversity Across Habitats

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We compared traditional bird counts (PC) with passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) in a heterogeneous Alpine landscape. PAM recorded twice as many species, with a strong correlation between species richness and the bird counts (rs = 0.71); however, there were significant differences depending on habitat type.

Pathways for Value Chains to Strengthen Sustainable Development in Mountain Regions: A European Cross‐Case Analysis Based on Stakeholders' Perceptions

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mountain areas are hotspots of high natural and cultural value, but they face sustainability challenges. This research offers a quantitative cross‐case analysis of 21 case studies from mountain regions across 14 European countries, examining how local stakeholders perceive the contribution of mountain value chains to sustainable development ...

The Hidden Harvest: Harnessing Colorado's Geodiversity and Environmental Heterogeneity for Sustainable Agritourism

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Colorado's geologic, pedologic, topographic, hydrological, and climatic contrasts create strong but under‐synthesized opportunities for sustainable agritourism. This review investigates how geodiversity, and the broader environmental heterogeneity within which it operates, can be used to diversify farm income, strengthen place‐based visitor ...

Response of Plant Community Characteristics and Soil Factors to Topographic Variations in Alpine Grasslands

Plants
Topography 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.

Suitable habitat of Himalayan wolf in Upper Mustang, Annapurna Conservation Area, Nepal

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Decades ago, the Himalayan wolf Canis lupus chanco, a genetically distinct sub‐species of the gray wolf Canis lupus, faced persecution by local communities in the Nepalese Himalayas. Recently, wolf populations have returned and recolonized, sparking concerns about conflicts over livestock depredation, and emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive ...

Grazing increased alpine grassland soil respiration rates on the Tibetan Plateau

Frontiers in Soil Science
IntroductionGrazing 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

Oecologia
Abstract 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 ...

Assessing physiological, behavioral and movement responses to Suprelorin implant delivery methods in free‐ranging eastern grey kangaroos Macropus giganteus

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Overabundant populations of eastern grey kangaroos Macropus giganteus in peri‐urban areas pose ecological and social challenges. Current management strategies are often hindered by animal welfare and logistical concerns. This study aimed to assess stress responses of kangaroos to two contraceptive delivery methods.

Genetic population structure of red foxes Vulpes vulpes across a rural landscape: insights into population connectivity and spatial patterns

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Human activities have shaped and are continuing to influence terrestrial landscapes, creating heterogenous, and often, fragmented landscapes. Generalist species, like the red fox Vulpes vulpes, show high flexibility in habitat use, and occur across the heterogeneous, anthropogenic landscapes of central Europe.

Ecological Restoration Projects Adapt Response of Net Primary Productivity of Alpine Grasslands to Climate Change across the Tibetan Plateau

Remote Sensing
Alpine grassland is sensitive to climate change, and many studies have explored the trends in alpine vegetation. Most research focuses on the effects of climate warming and increased humidity on vegetation greening. However, less attention has been given
