Behavioral responses of black bears to human presence and infrastructure in Yosemite National Park

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Using GPS collar data from black bears in Yosemite National Park, we examined how bear spatiotemporal activity in relation to human development shifted during the COVID‐19 park closure in 2020. In the absence of visitors, bears maintained consistent landscape‐scale space use but altered fine‐scale spatial and temporal behaviors.

Coupling Water Purification and Carbon Sequestration at Various Spatial Scales From Supply and Demand Perspective

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Balancing ecosystem‐service supply and demand is central to understanding both the natural and social dimensions of ecosystem services and to enhancing human well‐beings. Concurrently, collaborative efforts are underway to improve multiple ecosystem services, including the promotion of carbon neutrality and water purification (WP) within basin

Differences in respiration components and their dominant regulating factors across three alpine grasslands on the Qinghai−Tibet Plateau

Advances in Climate Change Research, 2023
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions from high-cold terrestrial ecosystems underlain by permafrost on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) have received widespread attention. However, the dominant factors regulating ecosystem respiration (Re) and its components (
