The consequences of elevated CO² and land use in alpine ecosystems [PDF]

, 2014
The consequences of elevated CO2 and land use in alpine ecosystems This PhD thesis addresses two main aspects of Global Change and their impacts on alpine vegetation and eco-hydrology, (1) the steadily increasing concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere

Multidimensional diversity of bird communities across spatial variation of land cover in Zoige on the eastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Avian Research, 2021
Background Spatial variation of land cover can result in the changes of community similarities and biotic homogenization, whereby the increasing similarity would reduce the adaptive capacity of biotic assemblages to further disturbance, and degenerate ...

Water Table Decline Shifts Microbial Necromass From Particulate to Mineral‐Associated Pools in Peatlands

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11265-11276, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbial necromass carbon (MNC) is a major and stable component of soil organic carbon, yet its fraction‐specific accumulation and stabilization mechanisms remain unclear, particularly in peatlands experiencing hydrological change. We investigated MNC distribution along three independent transects spanning a natural gradient of five ...

Incorporating burn probability into spatial prioritization of woodland caribou habitat restoration

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 7, September 2026.
Abstract Introduction Habitat disturbance is a major driver of population declines of woodland caribou in Canada. Habitat restoration is a critical component of a successful, long‐term approach to caribou recovery; however, with limited resources, it is important to target areas where restoration efforts will provide maximum benefits to caribou.

Tidal and Rainfall Controls of CH4 Fluxes in a Southern Moreton Bay Mangrove‐Saltmarsh

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Coastal wetlands play a crucial role in global carbon dynamics, acting as carbon dioxide (CO2) sinks while also emitting methane (CH4), a potent greenhouse gas. This study investigates CH4 fluxes over a six‐month period in a sub‐tropical coastal mangrove‐saltmarsh wetland in southern Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia, using eddy covariance ...

Vehicle tracks in the UK uplands vary in occurrence with land use and overlap with peatlands and protected areas

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
Surfaced vehicle tracks are widespread across GB uplands, yet their extent and environmental footprint have until now been poorly quantified. Using remote sensing and a semi‐automated detection model (F1 = 84.3%), we mapped over 5190 km of hill track, finding density highest in wind farm and grouse moor landscapes and with over 2500 km overlapping ...

Prediction of the Potential Distribution of Common Pochard (Aythya ferina) and Marbled Teal (Marmaronetta angustirostris) in Iran Under Future Climate Scenarios

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Predicting waterbird habitat changes under future climate scenarios. ABSTRACT Climate change is reshaping ecological communities worldwide, altering species distributions, abundance, and habitat suitability. We modelled the potential distribution of two duck species, the Common Pochard (Aythya ferina) and the Marbled Teal (Marmaronetta angustirostris),

Decoupling of alpine wetland degradation and regional development

Ecological Indicators
Wetland is the core functional system of the global alpine region. However, with the development of the social economy in the past few decades, the alpine wetland ecosystem has suffered serious shrinkage, drying, degradation and landscape fragmentation ...

A Statistical‐Process Hybridized Approach to Modeling Permafrost Distribution in a Boreal Wetland Ecosystem, Whatì, NT, Canada

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 323-341, July/September 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐resolution mapping of permafrost in ecologically and topographically complex landscapes remains a major challenge. Existing models of permafrost extent often rely on equilibrium assumptions, which can misrepresent conditions in regions where permafrost persists largely due to ecosystem structure.

Glacial history affected phenotypic differentiation in the Alpine plant Campanula thyrsoides [PDF]

, 2013
Numerous widespread Alpine plant species show molecular differentiation among populations from distinct regions. This has been explained as the result of genetic drift during glacial survival in isolated refugia along the border of the European Alps ...
