Cooling by melting precipitation in Alpine valleys: An idealized numerical modelling study [PDF]
, 2006 Cooling by melting precipitation in Alpine valleys is investigated. In this case, the latent heat required for melting the falling snow is continuously removed from the valley air until the snowline reaches the valley bottom. Numerical simulations with a

Ecological IndicatorsThe Zoige Wetland, located in the eastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, is the world’s largest alpine peatland. Understanding its spatiotemporal dynamics and driving mechanisms is essential for sustaining fragile plateau ecosystems.

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Headwaters often contribute disproportionately to network‐scale benthic biodiversity as differences in community composition between separate headwater streams (β‐diversity) can be high although local (α) diversity may be low. Most research on stream β‐diversity has adopted a spatial perspective, whereas temporal β‐diversity remains largely ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Arctic ecosystems like Svalbard are rapidly changing, yet soil microarthropods remain difficult to monitor due to limited baseline data and demanding field and identification work. Using 172 soil samples from 33 localities, we tested whether vegetation maps could serve as proxies for soil microarthropod communities.

Determining Spatially Variable Peat Depths of an Alpine Peatland in the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau
Journal of Geophysical Research: BiogeosciencesAbstract Understanding peat depths is crucial for assessing carbon dynamics within peatlands. However, accurately estimating peat depths across large areas remains challenging. In this study, we developed a novel approach integrating a machine‐learning based regression modeling with an optimized field sampling ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.The combined effects of sexual selection and natural selection give rise to sexual dimorphism in operculum and eye morphology of T. strauchii across the two river basins. And our study reveal the fine‐scale responses of fish sexual dimorphism to diverse selective forces.

Impact of climatic change on alpine ecosystems: inference and prediction [PDF]
, 2010 Alpine ecosystems will be greatly impacted by climatic change, but other factors, such as land use and invasive species, are likely to play an important role too. Climate can influence ecosystems at several levels.
