The vulnerability of lakes to climate change along an altitudinal gradient
Communications Earth & Environment, 2021 Studies of future 21st century climate warming in lakes along altitudinal gradients have been partially obscured by local atmospheric phenomena unresolved in climate models.

Elevational patterns of species richness, range and body size for spiny frogs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Quantifying spatial patterns of species richness is a core problem in biodiversity theory. Spiny frogs of the subfamily Painae (Anura: Dicroglossidae) are widespread, but endemic to Asia.

Species distribution of Quercus (Fagaceae) along an altitude gradient, reveals zonation in a hotspot
Botanical Sciences, 2021 Background: The genus Quercus has a keystone role in the temperate forests in the northern hemisphere; thus this offers an interesting opportunity to use it as a model to know altitudinal species richness patterns which could be used in further studies ...

Orchid diversity along an altitudinal gradient in the central Balkans
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Understanding patterns of species diversity along an altitudinal gradient is the major topic of much biogeographical and ecological research. The aim of this study was to explore how richness and density of orchid species and subspecies in terms of ...

Altitudinal gradients, plant hybrid zones and evolutionary novelty [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2014 Altitudinal gradients are characterized by steep changes of the physical and biotic environment that present challenges to plant adaptation throughout large parts of the world. Hybrid zones may form where related species inhabit different neighbouring altitudes and can facilitate interspecific gene flow and potentially the breakdown of ...

Effects of slope aspect on altitudinal pattern of soil C:N:P stoichiometry in alpine forest of Tibet [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 Knowledge of altitudinal patterns in soil C, N and P distribution is important for understanding biogeochemical processes in mountainous forests, yet the influence of slope aspects on soil stoichiometry has been largely neglected in previous studies.
