Tussock microhabitats increase nitrogen uptake by plants in an alpine wetland

Plant and Soil, 2021
Tussock microhabitat is a universal phenomenon in wetlands, where soil and plant properties differ from their surrounding lawns. This study aims to investigate the differences of plant nitrogen (N) uptake between tussocks and lawns, which would further affect ecosystem functions.

Monitoring the Seasonal Hydrology of Alpine Wetlands in Response to Snow Cover Dynamics and Summer Climate: A Novel Approach with Sentinel-2

Remote Sensing, 2020
Climate change in the European Alps during recent years has led to decreased snow cover duration as well as increases in the frequency and intensity of summer heat waves.

Soil Water Content Shapes Microbial Community Along Gradients of Wetland Degradation on the Tibetan Plateau

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Soil microbes are important components in element cycling and nutrient supply for the development of alpine ecosystems. However, the development of microbial community compositions and networks in the context of alpine wetland degradation is unclear.

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 water level on three wetlands soil seed banks on the Tibetan Plateau. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
BACKGROUND: Although the effect of water level on germination in soil seed banks has been documented in many ecosystems, the mechanism is not fully understood, and to date no empirical studies on this subject exist.

Non-climate environmental factors matter to Holocene dynamics of soil organic carbon and nitrogen in an alpine permafrost wetland, Qinghai‒Tibet Plateau

Advances in Climate Change Research, 2023
Studies on the responses of soil organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen dynamics to Holocene climate and environment in permafrost peatlands and/or wetlands might serve as analogues for future scenarios, and they can help predict the fate of the frozen SOC ...

Response of methanogenic community and their activity to temperature rise in alpine swamp meadow at different water level of the permafrost wetland on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Wetlands are an important source of atmospheric methane (CH4) and are sensitive to global climate change. Alpine swamp meadows, accounting for ~50% of the natural wetlands on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, were considered one of the most important ecosystems.

Response of soil bacterial community to alpine wetland degradation in arid Central Asia

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
A large number of studies have reported the importance of bacterial communities in ecosystems and their responses to soil degradation, but the response mechanism in arid alpine wetlands is still unclear. Here, the non-degraded (ND), slightly degraded (SD), and heavily degraded (HD) regions of Bayinbuluk alpine wetland were used to analyzed the ...

Effects of soil moisture on organic and inorganic nitrogen uptake by dominant plant species in Zoigê alpine wetlands

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Differences in nitrogen (N) form preference among species may lead to niche differentiation that facilitates species coexistence. In alpine wetlands, N niche differentiation may exist between dominant plant species, and such differentiation may be ...

Diversity of Trichoderma species associated with soil in the Zoige alpine wetland of Southwest China

Scientific Reports, 2022
AbstractThe ecology of soil fungi is poorly understood, and recent comprehensive reports on Trichoderma are unavailable for any region, including the Zoige alpine wetland ecological region in China. One hundred soil samples were collected from different soil types and soil layers in Zoige alpine wetland ecological regions.
