Changes and driving forces analysis of alpine wetlands in the first meander of the Yellow River based on long-term time series remote sensing data

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
IntroductionAs a vital component of the ecosystem of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, alpine wetlands coexist with their vulnerability, sensitivity, and abundant biodiversity, propelling the material cycle and energy flux of the entire plateau ecosystem.

Soil erosion in the Alps : causes and risk assessment [PDF]

, 2010
The issue of soil erosion in the Alps has long been neglected due to the low economic value of the agricultural land. However, soil stability is a key parameter which affects ecosystem services like slope stability, water budgets (drinking water ...

New opportunities for grassland species in warming temperate winters

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Temperate winters are getting warmer, the length of the growing season is increasing and mid‐winter fluctuations of warm and freezing temperatures are more frequent. Although typically winter dormant, some herbaceous perennials can maintain or grow green leaves during ...

“Coastal” versus “inland” shorebird species: interlinked fundamental dichotomies between their life- and demographic histories? [PDF]

, 2003
In this contribution I present an extended but testable hypothesis (or “evolutionary scenario”) to explain how and why many life-history features of latitudinal migrant shorebirds, basically characterised by the correlation between habitat choice in the ...

Specific Rhizobacteria Responsible in the Rhizosheath System of Kengyilia hirsuta

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The rhizosheath is a critical interface supporting the exchange of resources between plants and their associated environment of soil. Favorable microenvironment of rhizosphere soil provides the rhizosheath formed and then promotes desert plant survival ...

Seasonality and vertical structure of microbial communities in the alpine wetland

, 2023
Abstract The soil microbial community plays an important role in wetland ecosystem material transformation and energy flow. The temporal dynamics and spatial distribution of soil microbial communities have always been central questions in ecology.

Living by the lake: Plant food diversity in a prehistoric lake‐dwelling community in the Republic of North Macedonia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper explores the relationship between wetland ecosystems and prehistoric lakeshore settlements within the Lake Ohrid basin (a biodiversity hotspot) by considering plant food systems at Ploča Mičov Grad, North Macedonia. The mid‐fifth millennium (c.4555–4373 to 4437–4241 cal BCE) waterlogged assemblage contained a diverse spectrum of ...

Allelic variations in GA20ox3 regulate fruit length and seed germination timing for high-altitude adaptation in Arabidopsis thaliana

Nature Communications
Altitude significantly affects both fruit length (FL) and seed germination timing (SGT) in plants. Alpine plants often require prolonged chilling to enhance seed germination rates, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying these adaptations remain largely ...

Genome-Wide Identification of CAMTA Gene Family in Oat (Avena sativa) and Expression Analysis under Various Abiotic Stresses

Agronomy
Oat (Avena sativa) is one of the most important cereal crops and cool-season forage grasses in the world. The calmodulin-binding transcription activator (CAMTA) gene family is one of the largest families in plants, and it plays vital roles in multiple ...
