Tree growth response and adaptation to climate change and climate extremes: From canopy to stem
This review synthesizes the responses and adaptations of tree growth, including canopy phenology, intra‐annual wood formation dynamics, and annual stem growth, to climate change and climate extremes. It highlights key knowledge gaps for future research to support sustainable forest management and enhance forest carbon storage under ongoing climate ...

Abstract Despite documented ecomorphological shifts toward an herbivorous diet in several coelurosaurian lineages, the evolutionary tempo and mode of these changes remain poorly understood, hampered by sparse cranial materials for early representatives of major clades. This is particularly true for Therizinosauria, with representative crania best known

Abstract The Hangai Dome in central Mongolia represents one of the most prominent intracontinental uplifts, yet the relative contributions of crustal and mantle dynamics in sustaining its high topography remain unresolved. Here we jointly invert Rayleigh wave dispersion and receiver function data to constrain crustal and uppermost mantle structures ...

High genetic diversity of ancient horses from the Ukok Plateau.
A growing number of researchers studying horse domestication come to a conclusion that this process happened in multiple locations and involved multiple wild maternal lines.

As one of the major water supply systems for inland rivers, especially in arid and semi-arid regions, snow cover strongly affects hydrological cycles. In this study, remote sensing datasets combined with in-situ observation data from a route survey of ...

Mountain Riparian Zones as Refugia for Rare and Endangered Plants Under Climate Change
This study integrates Species Distribution Models and the InVEST model to project the distribution of 32 rare and endangered plants in the Irtysh River Basin under climate change. Results predict range contractions for 60% of species by 2050 and reveal that 80% of species currently fall outside protected areas, despite the role of mountains as climate ...

Distribution and timing of Holocene and late Pleistocene glacier fluctuations in western Mongolia
Despite being a key location for paleoglaciological research in north-central Asia, with the largest number of modern and Pleistocene glaciers, and in the transition zone between the humid Russian Altai and dry Gobi Altai, little is known about the ...

How Does the Phasianidae Maintain Its Diversity in Central China?
ABSTRACT The hypothesis of allopatric speciation suggests that spatial separation is the major driver to speciation. The ecological niche theory suggests that differentiations in niche dimensions allow more species to co‐exist in ecological communities.

Electromagnetic research in the Altai-Sayan mountain region
A new software-measuring complex has been developed for recording non-stationary electromagnetic soundings based on mobile modules created on the basis of 24-bit ADCs, with built-in GPS receivers, with recorders located directly at the field sensors, arithmetic sampling step and recording of all signal realizations.
