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,

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 ...

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.

Spatial–Temporal Heterogeneity of Wetlands in the Alpine Mountains of the Shule River Basin on the Northeastern Edge of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau [PDF]

Remote Sensing
Alpine wetland ecosystems, as important carbon sinks and water conservation areas, possess unique ecological functions. Driven by climate change and human activities, the spatial distribution changes in alpine wetlands directly affect the ecosystems and ...

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

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)

The lost biodiversity and degraded alpine wetlands caused by strong earthquake on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau did not self-restore in the short term

Global Ecology and Conservation
Alpine wetlands play important ecological roles by maintaining biodiversity and enhancing ecosystem reliability, stability, and functionality. However, geological disasters, such as earthquakes, cause biodiversity loss and degradation of the alpine ...

Hydrological Response of Alpine Wetlands to Climate Warming in the Eastern Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2016
Alpine wetlands in the Tibetan Plateau (TP) play a crucial role in the regional hydrological cycle due to their strong influence on surface ecohydrological processes; therefore, understanding how TP wetlands respond to climate change is essential for ...

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.
