Needle in a haystack: Holocene history of European larch in Central Europe revisited
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Defining nativity of species is crucial for their management. However, this is a complex task, especially for species that have been used and spread by humans for a long time. We combined paleoecological records with extensive genetic data to investigate the Holocene history of European larch—a common and economically important tree species in Central ...

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.We developed PZM‐YOLO to automatically detect plateau zokor mounds in UAV imagery of alpine meadows. The model achieved reliable detection of small and densely distributed mounds under complex backgrounds, outperforming the baseline YOLOv5s. This framework supports mound counting, mound position, rodent impact assessment, and grassland restoration ...

How Passive Acoustic and Traditional Monitoring Estimate Bird Diversity Across Habitats
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.We compared traditional bird counts (PC) with passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) in a heterogeneous Alpine landscape. PAM recorded twice as many species, with a strong correlation between species richness and the bird counts (rs = 0.71); however, there were significant differences depending on habitat type.

Predicting parameters of degradation succession processes of Tibetan Kobresia grasslands [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2015 In the past two decades, increasing human activity (i.e., overgrazing) in the Tibetan Plateau has strongly influenced plant succession processes, resulting in the degradation of alpine grasslands.

VEGETATION OF ALPINE MEADOWS AND ALPINE CARPETS OF THE TERRITORY OF THE REPUBLIC OF AZERBAIJAN
Альпийские луга на высоте 2400-3200 м над уровнем моря в поясе альпийско-субальпийских лугов в пределах республики; На высотах 3000–3500 м на горно-луговых злаковых и торфяно-злаковых горнолуговых почвах распространены альпийские ковры. В альпийской зоне луговая растительность, а именно альпийские луга и альпийские ковры, часто формируется пятнами и ...
