Estimation Accuracy Obviously Increased of Soil Organic Carbon Content Based on Habitat Patches Scale Using Interpretable Machine Learning in Southwest China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although machine learning models have been successfully applied to estimate soil organic carbon (SOC), the lack of interpretability research has resulted in the absence of mechanistic explanations for these models. Therefore, in this study, we adopted the following workflow: first, we divided the whole study area into several subregions using ...

Are sub‐alpine species' seedling emergence and establishment in the alpine limited by climate or biotic interactions?

Ecology and Evolution
One of the ways in which plants are responding to climate change is by shifting their ranges to higher elevations. Early life‐history stages are major bottlenecks for species' range shifts, and variation in seedling emergence and establishment success ...

Carbon–Phosphorus Limitation Is Associated With Shifts in Microbial Life‐History Strategies Across Vegetation Restoration Modes in Alpine Sandy Land on the Tibetan Plateau

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alpine sandy land on the Tibetan Plateau is fragile, with poorly developed soils, low nutrient availability, and weak biological resilience. Vegetation restoration is widely used to improve soil functioning, yet how microbial nutrient limitation and life‐history strategies vary among restoration modes remains unclear.

Topographic and Climatic Determinants of Soil Organic Carbon Across Landscapes: A Meta‐Analysis

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The soil is the greatest natural store of organic carbon, holding between 1500 to 1550 Pg C of organic carbon at the top 100 cm of the soil globally—roughly twice the carbon pool in the atmosphere. The spatial distribution of this stock is controlled by a complex chain of controls: topographic position regulates the hydrological redistribution,

Forests and Open Woodlands of Alpine-Taiga Landscapes of the Bureya Mountains (Diversity, Structure, and Dynamics) [PDF]

Сибирский лесной журнал, 2015
Many of classic questions of vegetation and forest sciences do not lose their relevance because they are basic knowledge for solving a large number of scientific and practical tasks.

Historical data reveal earlier flowering under environmental change

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Global temperatures have risen ~ 1.1°C since the 1800s and the mean annual air temperature in the Arctic has increased by nearly four times the global average. Temperature has a significant effect on fundamental life‐cycle events of flora and fauna. With temperatures increasing, Arctic plants are expected to shift their active periods accordingly, with

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 ...

Hunting Strategies and Game Exploitation Organization in the Magdalenian: An Integrated Approach Based on Mortality Profiles and Stable Isotopes at Chaves Cave (Huesca, Spain)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding hunting strategies in Upper Paleolithic contexts remains challenging due to the complex relationships between prey behavior, environmental conditions, and human decision‐making. Addressing these dynamics requires integrating archeozoological, geospatial, and geochemical proxies capable of capturing demographic patterns, landscape

Elevation‐dependent soil and plant responses to a decade of warming and species removal

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding how ecosystems retain or release carbon under warming is a critical challenge. Dominant plant species, which contribute the most biomass, can mediate ecosystem responses to warming by modifying microclimate and nutrient cycling. To investigate how warming and shifts in plant dominance interact to affect carbon and nutrient dynamics, we ...

Spectral Characteristics and Identification of Degraded Alpine Meadow in Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau Based on Hyperspectral Data

Remote Sensing
Grassland degradation poses a significant challenge to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP). Effective monitoring of grassland degradation is essential for ecological restoration.
