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 ...

Detecting Plateau Zokor (Eospalax baileyi) Mounds in UAV Imagery of Alpine Meadows Using Deep Learning Algorithms

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.

Pathways for Value Chains to Strengthen Sustainable Development in Mountain Regions: A European Cross‐Case Analysis Based on Stakeholders' Perceptions

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mountain areas are hotspots of high natural and cultural value, but they face sustainability challenges. This research offers a quantitative cross‐case analysis of 21 case studies from mountain regions across 14 European countries, examining how local stakeholders perceive the contribution of mountain value chains to sustainable development ...

Microbial Community Response to Alpine Meadow Degradation and Its Impact on Soil Nutrient Cycling

Agronomy
The degradation of alpine meadows on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau is a major issue affecting both the ecology and the economy. Microorganisms play an important role in soil nutrient cycling and the regulation of ecosystem function.

Tourism as a Catalyst for Blue Carbon Restoration and Conservation: Pathways, Gaps, and Opportunities

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tourism is a major driver of coastal economies worldwide, yet it is also a growing source of pressure on blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs) such as mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes. Nowadays, tourism‐led conservation/restoration is increasingly promoted under the banner of regenerative tourism, but how these projects are motivated ...

Methodological comparison of alpine meadow evapotranspiration on the Tibetan Plateau, China

PLOS ONE, 2017
L'estimation de l'évapotranspiration (ET) des prairies alpines du plateau tibétain (TP) est essentielle pour la gestion des ressources en eau. Cependant, les données d'observation ont été limitées en raison des climats extrêmes et du terrain complexe de cette région.

A high‐altitude thermal infrared method for estimating moose abundance and demography in Rocky Mountain National Park, USA

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Resource managers require accurate estimates of large herbivore abundance and demography to maintain ecological integrity. Common methods to count these species, including observations from low altitude helicopter flights, may conflict with other protected area management objectives and struggle to produce precise estimates for more cryptic species. To

Productive Overcompensation of Alpine Meadows in Response to Yak Grazing in the Eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Understanding the interaction between large herbivores and pasture production, especially with respect to the grazing optimization hypothesis, is critical for pasture management and generating theoretical and testable predictions.
