The spatial differentiation of alpine wetlands on the eastern Tibetan Plateau using multi-source remote sensing images

Frontiers in Remote Sensing
The alpine wetlands on the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (EQTP) serve as a critical global ecological barrier. Under the dual pressures of climate change and human activities, these wetland systems face environmental challenges such as retrogressive ...

Precipitation-Driven Soil and Vegetation Changes Shape Wetland Greenhouse Gas Emissions [PDF]

Biology
Against the backdrop of global climate change, alterations in precipitation regimes—including the increasing frequency of extreme events—have become more widespread, exerting profound impacts on terrestrial ecosystems and reshaping greenhouse gas (GHG ...

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)

A suitable method for alpine wetland delineation: An example for the headwater area of the yellow river, Tibetan Plateau

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Alpine wetlands are one of the most important ecosystems in the Three Rivers Source Area, China, which plays an important role in regulating the regional hydrological cycle and carbon cycle.

Long-term persistence and recycling of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis spores in wetlands sprayed for mosquito control

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (Bti) is the main larvicide used to control mosquitoes worldwide. Although there is accumulating evidence of Bti having environmental effects on non-target fauna, relatively few field studies have documented the ...

Change in grass hill size can signal species diversity changes and ecosystem state transitions during alpine wetland degradation

Ecological Indicators, 2021
The prospect of likely catastrophic transitions in ecosystems requires the development of early warning indicators that will provide advance warnings for undesired transitions.

Tibetan Buddhism, Wetland Transformation, and Environmentalism in Tibetan Pastoral Areas of Western China

Conservation & Society, 2017
Alpine wetlands occupy a considerable area of the Tibetan Plateau, a region that is characterised by diverse but fragile ecosystems, including alpine wetlands, which are reported to have shrunk by 29% over the last several decades.

Alpine constructed wetlands: A metagenomic analysis reveals microbial complementary structure

Science of The Total Environment, 2022
Constructed wetlands (CWs) are used to water treatment worldwide, however their application at high-altitude is poorly studied. In order to survive mountain winters, CWs rely on native flora and associated microbial communities. However, the choice of plant-microbes pairs more suitable for water treatment is challenging in alpine environments.

Drivers of Soil Total Nitrogen and Phosphorus Storage in Alpine Wetland Across the Three Rivers Source Region on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Although soil total nitrogen (STN) and soil total phosphorus (STP) play significant roles in terrestrial ecosystem function, their storage and driving factors in the alpine wetlands of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau remain unclear.

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.
