Seasonal soil respiration responses to fencing vary by alpine grassland type in the Tibetan Plateau

Geoderma
Fencing is widely applied for grassland restoration on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. However, considerable uncertainty remains in how soil respiration (Rs) and its components, autotrophic (Ra) and heterotrophic (Rh) respiration, respond to fencing in ...

Ecosystem Carbon Storage in Alpine Grassland on the Qinghai Plateau.

PLoS ONE, 2016
The alpine grassland ecosystem can sequester a large quantity of carbon, yet its significance remains controversial owing to large uncertainties in the relative contributions of climate factors and grazing intensity.

Arctic plants can take up inorganic nitrogen year‐round

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Schematic overview of year‐round, Arctic seasonal periods as used throughout the paper and their relation to the 15 repeated measuring periods (top) and the three a priori contrasts (middle) used for statistical testing of seasonality in N‐uptake. Summary Arctic tundra experiences strong climatic seasonality, with cold and long winters, but effective ...

Ecological niches and biogeography of nitrogen‐fixing plants in Europe

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Despite sharing N fixation as a common trait, European legume and actinorhizal plant lineages occupy strikingly divergent ecological niches shaped by their evolutionary histories and physiological adaptations. Advanced symbiont control allows IRLC legumes to expand into northern, mesic regions, while non‐IRLC legumes are more common in Mediterranean ...

Understanding barriers to upscaling ecosystem restoration: evidence from restoration projects

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
International policy efforts championing ecosystem restoration are underway in response to human‐induced ecosystem degradation. At the national scale, Norway is attempting to integrate restoration as a key policy target into its environmental governance and policy frameworks.

Alpine steppe vegetation communities are more sensitive to plateau pika disturbance than alpine meadows

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionSmall herbivores are important biological factors affecting plant productivity and species richness in the grassland ecosystem of the Tibetan Plateau. However, the response of different grassland types to the disturbance of the “endemic species” plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) remains unclear.MethodsIn this study, two representative ...

Landscape conservation forecasting to evaluate ecological condition and wildlife habitat suitability in eastern Nevada U.S.A.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Cooperation among managers of protected areas and federal multiple use lands with private inholdings to increase restoration success and economies of scale creates ecological and regulatory complexity best studied with state‐and‐transition simulation models (STSM).

Restoration ecology in conflict along the Colorado front range

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) is a challenge to restoration in western North America. It attracts the attention of academic and government research scientists, weed managers, and chemical companies. Attempts to control it cause conflicts among these groups.

The promise of digital herbarium specimens in large‐scale phenology research

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 2, Page 617-624, July 2026.
Summary The online mobilization of herbaria has made tens of millions of specimens digitally available, revolutionizing investigations of phenology and plant responses to climate change. We identify two main themes associated with this growing body of research and highlight a selection of recent publications exemplifying: investigating phenology at ...

Climate Change Reduces Habitat Suitability of the Endemic Iranian Ground‐Jay (Podoces pleskei): Spatial Analyses to Guide Conservation Strategies

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Pleske's ground jay (Podoces pleskei), an endemic bird of Iran's drylands, faces severe habitat loss due to climate change and human activities. Using ecological niche models and GIS analyses, we identified key environmental drivers of its distribution and found that 52% of suitable habitat is projected to be lost, with much of the remaining range ...
