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

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.Artificial light at night (ALAN) affects plant–pollinator interactions through taxon‐specific changes in pollinator visitation. Reduced Lepidoptera visitation restructures nocturnal pollination networks by decreasing nestedness and increasing modularity, whereas shifts in daytime pollinator assemblages increase connectance in diurnal pollination ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.We report the first discovery of wild double‐flowered populations of the alpine dwarf shrub Rhododendron nivale on the eastern Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau. Two geographically isolated populations (> 800 km apart) show nearly identical stamen petaloidy and floral modifications in similar harsh high‐altitude habitats, suggesting possible parallel evolution ...

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.Over the past decades, Arctic and alpine biomes have warmed faster than the global average. Substantial vegetation changes have been reported as a response to this warming, including increased productivity and the spread of warm‐adapted (thermophilic) species that are less resistant to grazing pressure into higher latitudes and altitudes.

Microclimate mediates the strength and direction of avian biotic interactions
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.Theory predicts that the strength and direction of species interactions can shift from being competitive in benign environments toward being facilitative in stressful environments. However, the environmental context dependency of species interactions has rarely been tested in animal communities.

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 16, Page 11671-11681, October 2026.ABSTRACT Grazing exclusion is a critical restoration measure for degraded alpine steppe ecosystems. However, research remains limited on the key factors influencing soil aggregates that affect plant productivity and the mechanisms influencing nutrient distribution across aggregates of different size fractions during long‐term grazing exclusion.

Elevation‐dependent soil and plant responses to a decade of warming and species removal
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.Understanding how ecosystems retain or release carbon under warming is a critical challenge. Dominant plant species, which contribute the most biomass, can mediate ecosystem responses to warming by modifying microclimate and nutrient cycling. To investigate how warming and shifts in plant dominance interact to affect carbon and nutrient dynamics, we ...

Can the Carbon Storage Function of a Degraded Mountain Wet Meadow Be Restored?
Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract Sierra Nevada meadows experienced intense livestock grazing in the 19th century, resulting in a shift from deep‐rooted highly productive perennial clonal sedges to short‐lived and shallow‐rooted plants. The current meadow vegetation contains >20% bare ground and <10% cover of highly productive clonal sedges and rushes. We hypothesized that the
