Alpine Wetlands Information Extraction Using Optimized Multifeatures and Random Forest Algorithm

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Alpine 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,

Strong earthquake results in regional die-off and degradation of alpine wetlands in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau: Implications for management and restoration

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Strong earthquakes can have negative effects on various ecosystems, including farmlands, grasslands, and coasts. However, reports of how strong earthquakes affect the biodiversity and ecosystem functions of alpine wetlands are lacking.

Seasonality and Vertical Structure of Microbial Communities in Alpine Wetlands. [PDF]

Microorganisms
The soil microbial community plays a crucial role in the elemental cycling and energy flow within wetland ecosystems. The temporal dynamics and spatial distribution of soil microbial communities are central topics in ecology. While numerous studies have focused on wetland microbial community structures at low altitudes, microbial diversity across ...

Effects of electron acceptors on CH4 emission in alpine wetlands [PDF]

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.

Dynamic Changes and Driving Forces of Alpine Wetlands on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau Based on Long-Term Time Series Satellite Data: A Case Study in the Gansu Maqu Wetlands

Remote Sensing, 2022
The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP), also known as the Third Pole of the Earth, is sensitive to climate change, and it has become a hotspot area for research.

Soil diazotrophic abundance, diversity, and community assembly mechanisms significantly differ between glacier riparian wetlands and their adjacent alpine meadows

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Global warming can trigger dramatic glacier area shrinkage and change the flux of glacial runoff, leading to the expansion and subsequent retreat of riparian wetlands. This elicits the interconversion of riparian wetlands and their adjacent ecosystems (e.

Spatiotemporal prediction of alpine wetlands under multi-climate scenarios in the west of Sichuan, China [PDF]

PeerJ
Background The alpine wetlands in western Sichuan are distributed along the eastern section of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP), where the ecological environment is fragile and highly sensitive to global climate change.

Holocene geochemical footprint from Semi-arid alpine wetlands in southern Spain. [PDF]

Sci Data, 2018
AbstractHere we provide the geochemical dataset that our research group has collected after 10 years of investigation in the Sierra Nevada National Park in southern Spain. These data come from Holocene sedimentary records from four alpine sites (ranging from ∼2500 to ∼3000 masl): two peatlands and two shallow lakes.

Different grazing intensities affect soil nitrogen cycling by altering microbial nitrogen metabolism in alpine wetlands [PDF]

iScience
Summary: Grazing significantly affects soil nitrogen cycling in eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau alpine wetlands. Grazing did not alter soil microbial α-diversity, but shifted community composition via metagenomic analysis.
