Oikos, EarlyView.Climate warming and plant invasions jointly alter alpine ecosystems, but the mechanisms underlying these interactions remain unclear. A key to predicting ecosystem vulnerability is whether native and invasive species can sustain performance as conditions warm.

Effects of Sheep Grazing on Availability and Leaching of Soil Nitrogen in Low-Alpine Grasslands [PDF]
, 2012 Alpine ecosystems are generally nitrogen (N) limited with low rates of N mineralization. Herbivory may affect N cycling and N losses and thus long-term productivity of ecosystems.

Sampling multi-scale and multi-taxon plant diversity data in the subalpine and alpine habitats of Switzerland : report on the 14th EDGG Field Workshop [PDF]
, 2020 The 14th EDGG Field Workshop took place from the 4th to the 14th of September 2020 in Switzerland, and was devoted to the vegetation of open habitats in the subalpine and alpine zones.

Needle in a haystack: Holocene history of European larch in Central Europe revisited
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Defining nativity of species is crucial for their management. However, this is a complex task, especially for species that have been used and spread by humans for a long time. We combined paleoecological records with extensive genetic data to investigate the Holocene history of European larch—a common and economically important tree species in Central ...

Climate and biotic interactions – drivers of plant community structure and ecosystem functioning in alpine grasslands [PDF]
, 2019 The governing of biodiversity by climate is profound. Climate as reflected through the major global temperature and precipitation axes determines the distribution of species according to their climatic tolerance, or niche.

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.We developed PZM‐YOLO to automatically detect plateau zokor mounds in UAV imagery of alpine meadows. The model achieved reliable detection of small and densely distributed mounds under complex backgrounds, outperforming the baseline YOLOv5s. This framework supports mound counting, mound position, rodent impact assessment, and grassland restoration ...

The high plant diversity in alpine to subalpine grasslands is threatened by the abandonment of land use. In addition, changing environmental conditions might lead to vegetation shifts even when traditional land use is maintained, as observed in ...

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.
