Vegetation Structure and Temperature Regimes of Tropical Alpine Treelines [PDF]
Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2007 Alpine treeline ecotones can be gradual transitions, abrupt boundaries, or patchy mosaics, and these different patterns may indicate important processes and dynamic properties. We present observed spatial patterns of a wide range of tropical treelines and try to explain these patterns.

The aridity index governs the variation of vegetation characteristics in alpine grassland, Northern Tibet Plateau [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 The vegetation dynamic (e.g., community productivity) is an important index used to evaluate the ecosystem function of grassland ecosystem. However, the critical factors that affect vegetation biomass are disputed continuously, and most of the debates ...

Classification of alpine grasslands in the western Tian Shan Mountains (Kyrgyzstan, Middle Asia)
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2023 In this paper, we present the first syntaxonomic classification of alpine grasslands in the western Tian Shan Mountains (Kyrgyzstan) with some remarks on its environmental gradients. A total of 251 relevés were sampled in 2015-2022 using the seven-degree

Is grazing exclusion effective in restoring vegetation in degraded alpine grasslands in Tibet, China? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Overgrazing is considered one of the key disturbance factors that results in alpine grassland degradation in Tibet. Grazing exclusion by fencing has been widely used as an approach to restore degraded grasslands in Tibet since 2004.
