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 ...

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 ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Our analysis revealed that while climate strongly influenced species distributions, habitat change drove most observed delays in distribution responses. In terms of community ecology, dispersed communities exhibited shorter time lags than concentrated groups. Analyses of lag duration revealed a 5–6‐year distribution lag effect in high‐altitude ungulate

Analysing the spatial variation of soil respiration during the early growing season of different grasslands in China [PDF]
PeerJBackground As one of the most essential vegetation types, grasslands play a vital role in the global carbon cycle. However, current researches on the spatial variation (SV) of soil respiration (Rs) in grasslands faces great uncertainties.

Decades of Enclosure Protection Exert Composite Effects on Grassland Grasshopper Communities
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Decades of enclosure protection have altered grasshopper community structure, with species‐specific effects on population dynamics. For the low‐mobility grasshopper Chorthippus fallax, abundance did not differ strongly between exclosure‐protected and overgrazed areas, but its egg development duration was longer in exclosures. The two C.

Meta-analysis of relationships between environmental factors and aboveground biomass in the alpine grassland on the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2013 The Tibetan Plateau, known as the "world's third pole" for its extremely harsh and fragile ecological environment, has attracted great attention because of its sensitivity to global changes.
