Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Alkalinity in an Alpine Headwater Stream Network: Linking Catchment Heterogeneity to Carbon Dynamics

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Alkalinity is a key regulator of carbon dioxide (CO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$) dynamics in freshwater systems, influencing both dissolved inorganic carbon speciation and the buffering capacity of water. Despite its importance, alkalinity in freshwater environments remains comparatively underexplored relative to ocean systems.

Shrubs inhibit plant diseases by intercepting light in alpine meadows

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1644-1655, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change is disproportionately impacting mountain ecosystems, leading to widespread shrub expansion into alpine meadows. Shrub encroachment alters the albedo, carbon budget and warming rate in alpine grasslands, but it remains challenging to predict how shrub ...

Alpine Meadow Could Be Better Restored Before Moderate Degradation Using Inorganic Nitrogen on the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

Nitrogen (N) fertilization is considered a powerful alternative approach to restore degraded alpine meadows. However, whether the form of available N matters and its efficiency along a degradation gradient remains largely unexplored.

Hotspots on cold mountains: Hot flowers as pollinator refuges in mountain ecosystems

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1850-1861, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mountain environments constrain the activity of ectothermic insects. Yet, fine‐scale thermal refuges can buffer these thermal constraints, helping insects remain active in cold conditions.
