Vegetation NDVI Linked to Temperature and Precipitation in the Upper Catchments of Yellow River [PDF]
, 2012 Vegetation in the upper catchment of Yellow River is critical for the ecological stability of the whole watershed. The dominant vegetation cover types in this region are grassland and forest, which can strongly influence the eco-environmental status of ...

Biomass-modulated fire dynamics during the last glacial-interglacial transition at the central pyrenees (Spain) [PDF]
, 2014 Understanding long-term fire ecology is essential for current day interpretation of ecosystem fire responses. However palaeoecology of fire is still poorly understood, especially at high-altitude mountain environments, despite the fact that these are ...

Focus on the impact of climate change on wetland ecosystem and carbon dynamics [PDF]
, 2016 The renewed growth in atmospheric methane (CH4)since 2007 after a decade of stabilization has drawn much attention to its causes and future trends. Wetlands are the single largest source of atmospheric CH4.

Impact of natural gullies on groundwater hydrology in the Zoige peatland, China
Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2019 Study region: The study area was in the upland peatland within the Zoige basin with elevations ranging between 3400 and 3800 m. It is located in the source area of Upper Yellow River that is developed on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China.

Controls on ecosystem respiration of carbon dioxide across a boreal wetland gradient in Interior Alaska [PDF]
, 2012 Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2012Permafrost and organic soil layers are common to most wetlands in interior Alaska, where wetlands have functioned as important long-term soil carbon sinks.

Effect of permafrost thaw on CO2 and CH4 exchange in a western Alaska peatland chronosequence [PDF]
, 2014 Permafrost soils store over half of global soil carbon (C), and northern frozen peatlands store about 10% of global permafrost C. With thaw, inundation of high latitude lowland peatlands typically increases the surface-atmosphere flux of methane (CH4), a
