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 ...

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.

Stable and radiogenic isotopes as tracers for soil degradation [PDF]
, 2008 Soil erosion seriously threatens mountain slopes. Direct measurement of soil erosion in the field is difficult and needs long term recording. However, stable and radiogenic isotopes are potential tracers for soil erosion estimation and would enable a ...

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.

Iron-mediated soil carbon response to water-table decline in an alpine wetland. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2017 AbstractThe tremendous reservoir of soil organic carbon (SOC) in wetlands is being threatened by water-table decline (WTD) globally. However, the SOC response to WTD remains highly uncertain. Here we examine the under-investigated role of iron (Fe) in mediating soil enzyme activity and lignin stabilization in a mesocosm WTD experiment in an alpine ...
