Climate and sedimentary structure drive deep labile carbon accumulation in alpine wetlands

Communications Earth & Environment
Wetlands serve as vital carbon sinks; however, compared with the surface carbon pool, the relative stock and stability of organic carbon (OC) buried in deep sediment layers remain uncertain, particularly in alpine regions.

Investigating the coupled coordination of improved ecological environment and socio-economic development in alpine wetland areas: A case study of southwest China

Ecological Indicators
Zogie Wetland is an important ecological protection area in the alpine region of southwest China. Coordinating the relationship between socio-economic (SE) and ecological environment (EE) in this area is instructive for economic development and ...

Mitigating Human–Large Carnivore Conflicts via Time‐Regulated Management of Free‐Ranging Livestock in the Sanjiangyuan Region, China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract illustrates the comprehensive workflow of our study, from the deployment of infrared cameras at sites with high activity of four large carnivores, through data collection and assessment of activity patterns, to the prediction of time periods with potential human–large carnivore conflicts and the proposal of corresponding ...

Extinction Debt Paid Off: The Demise of the European Polecat (Mustela putorius) in NE Iberia

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We studied a vanishing polecat population for a decade, until its ultimate demise, using camera trap and roadkill data, landscape descriptors and dietary and toxicological analyses.Polecat favoured farmland and avoided forests and water bodies occupied by the invasive American mink.

Spatial and Temporal Changes of Wetlands on the Tibetan Plateau Between 1990 and 2020

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Highly sensitive to climate change and glacier melt, alpine wetlands on the Tibetan Plateau have important implications for carbon storage and animal habitat.

Chironomid‐based summer temperature reconstruction of the Eemian–Weichselian transition at Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Understanding the temperature variability of past interglacial cycles is essential to predict future climates. We present a new summer temperature reconstruction, based on the subfossil chironomid record from a small palaeolake adjacent to the Middle Palaeolithic site of Lichtenberg, northern Germany. The record spans from the Saalian late glacial over

Characterizing and Detecting Multiscenario Degradation of the Maidika Alpine Wetland Nature Reserve in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau Using Landsat Time Series

Journal of Remote Sensing
Monitoring alpine wetland degradation on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau is crucial for understanding the responses to and resilience against climate change but has been challenging due to limited images in cloudy high-mountain areas.

Changing climates and environments within the complex Middle to Late Pleistocene fill of an overdeepened valley at Niederweningen, Switzerland

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacially overdeepened valleys in the northern Alpine Foreland preserve Middle to Late Pleistocene sedimentary sequences that may serve as valuable archives for reconstructing past environmental changes in response to shifts in climate. This study presents a multidisciplinary analysis of two sediment cores from the overdeepened Wehntal Valley at ...

Terrain Synthesis and Authoring based on Iso‐Contours

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Digital terrains are central to realistic landscape depiction, yet authoring tools must balance perceptual realism with intuitive artistic control. We propose a compact vector‐based representation that models terrain as nested iso‐contours, inspired by geomorphology and cartography.
