Integrating human acceptance into habitat suitability models for snow leopards in northern Bhutan

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Habitat suitability models are commonly used to assess the potential distribution of large carnivores by identifying ecologically favourable areas. However, these models often overlook human dimensions, such as conflict and acceptance, which can lead to overestimation of species ranges and a mismatch between predicted and actual distributions.

Data_Sheet_1_Degradation reduces the diversity of nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the alpine wetland on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.docx

, 2022
Biological nitrogen fixation is a key process in the nitrogen cycle and the main source of soil available nitrogen. The number and diversity of nitrogen-fixing bacteria directly reflect the efficiency of soil nitrogen fixation.

A Statistical‐Process Hybridized Approach to Modeling Permafrost Distribution in a Boreal Wetland Ecosystem, Whatì, NT, Canada

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High‐resolution mapping of permafrost in ecologically and topographically complex landscapes remains a major challenge. Existing models of permafrost extent often rely on equilibrium assumptions, which can misrepresent conditions in regions where permafrost persists largely due to ecosystem structure.

How many, how far? Quantitative models of Neolithic land use for six wetland sites on the northern Alpine forelands between 4300 and 3700 bc [PDF]

, 2020
Dendrochronological studies demonstrate a highly dynamic settlement system in prehistoric wetland sites in the northern Alpine forelands. In this article, we apply an agent-based simulation model of the human–environment system to better understand ...

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 ...

Using dendroclimatic analysis of exotic deciduous conifers in an arboretum to document tree growth in response to climate change, Northeast Ohio, USA

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Rising temperatures and wetter conditions in the Midcontinent of North America are influencing climate responses in trees. Dendroclimatological analyses of four exotic deciduous conifer species from Secrest Arboretum, Northeast Ohio help identify past, present and future climate‐tree interactions.

Shrub encroachment alters the diversity of soil fungal communities in topsoil, but not in subsoil under alpine grassland of the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau

Global Ecology and Conservation
Encroachment of alpine grassland ecosystems by shrubs is widespread in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. However, effects of shrub encroachment on fungal community structure and its function are limited.

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.
