Alpine constructed wetlands: A metagenomic analysis reveals microbial complementary structure
Science of The Total Environment, 2022 Constructed wetlands (CWs) are used to water treatment worldwide, however their application at high-altitude is poorly studied. In order to survive mountain winters, CWs rely on native flora and associated microbial communities. However, the choice of plant-microbes pairs more suitable for water treatment is challenging in alpine environments.

Alpine Wetlands Information Extraction Using Optimized Multifeatures and Random Forest Algorithm
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote SensingAlpine wetlands are a special ecosystem that is extremely sensitive to global climate change. The unique geographical location and climatic conditions of the Yellow-River-Source National Park give rise to diverse wetland types at the land-water interface, which exhibit phenomena such as “same object with different spectra” and “ ...

Response characteristics of root to moisture change at seedling stage of Kengyilia hirsuta
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Kengyilia hirsuta is an important pioneer plant distributed on the desertified grassland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It has strong adaptability to alpine desert habitats, so it can be used as a sand-fixing plant on sandy alpine land.

Streptomyces paludis sp. nov., isolated from an alpine wetland soil
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2020 A Gram-stain-positive actinobacterium, designated strain GSSD-12T, was isolated from an alpine wetland soil. blast search of the full-length 16S rRNA gene sequence of GSSD-12T indicated it represented a member of the genus Streptomyces , and displayed highest ...

Effects of electron acceptors on CH4 emission in alpine wetlands
Mires and Peat, 2023 Alpine wetlands are an important source of methane (CH4) and play a key role in the global carbon cycle. Their CH4 emissions largely depend on microbial CH4 production and oxidation processes that involve external electron acceptors. Seasonal precipitation drives redox cycles of humic acids (HAs), iron oxide and sulfur species, which will in turn ...

Interactions between carbon and nitrogen dynamics in estimating net primary productivity for potential vegetation in North America [PDF]
, 1992 We use the terrestrial ecosystem model (TEM), a process-based model, to investigate how interactions between carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics affect predictions of net primary productivity (NPP) for potential vegetation in North America. Data on pool
