Precipitation rather than evapotranspiration determines the warm-season water supply in an alpine shrub and an alpine meadow

, 2021
Alpine regions are generally referred to as water towers for the lowlands, yet the water balance has not been quantified for alpine catchments with different vegetation types.

Grazing affects methanotroph activity and diversity in an alpine meadow soil

Environmental Microbiology Reports, 2009
Summary The role of methane‐oxidizing bacteria (MOB) in alpine environments is poorly understood, but is of importance given the abundance of alpine environments and the role of MOB in the global carbon cycle. Using a combination of approaches we examined both seasonal and land usage effects on the ecology of ...

Sensitivity of soil carbon dynamics to nitrogen and phosphorus enrichment in an alpine meadow

, 2020
Anthropogenic activities and atmospheric deposition have increased the nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) inputs to terrestrial ecosystems, which can significantly alter ecosystem carbon cycling.

Primary Productivity of Alpine Meadow Communities

1975
The plant biomass and the production of tundra areas may vary strongly between plant communities (Bliss, 1962; Rodin and Bazilevich, 1967; Wielgolaski and Rosswall, 1972; Brzoska, 1973; Bliss and Wielgolaski, 1973; Perkins et al., 1975), and also between years.

Carbon balance of yak ranch in alpine meadow

Carbon Footprints
Livestock husbandry is a primary anthropogenic source of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP), an important geography for animal husbandry in China, and is therefore a significant contributor to the global GHG budget.

Breeding birds from reedbeds to alpine meadows

Hydrobiologia, 1997
The fauna of passerines (Passeriformes) and other bird families (Galliformes, Columbiformes, Cuculiformes, Coraciiformes and Piciformes) censused with similar methods, was examined; 132 species of the above families have been observed in the Prespa area. Of these, 19 non-passerines and 77 passerines breed.

USING OF ALPINE MEADOW'S FARMS FOR THE ORGANIZATION OF HIKING ON THE ALPINE MEADOWS OF THE CHORNOHORA MASSIF OF THE UKRAINIAN CARPATHIANS

2019
High mountain farming is a traditional branch of traditional economy of Hutsulshchyna’s region. Original tradition of farming, developed over the centuries, difficult weather conditions and working conditions have formed the unique culture of high mountain farming.

Of Men and Meadows: Strategies of Alpine Land Use

Anthropological Quarterly, 1972
Mountain villages in southern Switzerland traditionally met their subsistence needs through mixed farming and herding within the environmental constraints imposed by altitude, topography, exposure to sun, and water availability. Community boundaries were clearly defined and historically stable. Exploitative technology varied little through time.
