Explaining global increases in water use efficiency: why have we overestimated responses to rising atmospheric CO(2) in natural forest ecosystems? [PDF]

, 2013
BackgroundThe analysis of tree-ring carbon isotope composition (δ(13)C) has been widely used to estimate spatio-temporal variations in intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE) of tree species.

Altitudinal migration behavior patterns of birds on the eastern slope of Mt. Gongga, China

Avian Research, 2023
Many bird species in montane regions exhibit altitudinal migration behavior; however, altitudinal migration of birds is still understudied, especially in Asia. Mt. Gongga (7556 ​m) is the highest peak of the Hengduan Mountains in Southwest China.

Seed bank formation and removal of Pinus hartwegii (Pinaceae) seeds along an altitudinal gradient in the Cofre de Perote National Park, Veracruz, Mexico

Botan‪ical Sciences, 2019
Background: Seed banks, an important element in the natural regeneration of plant communities, are regulated mostly by granivores along an altitudinal gradient.

The effect of elevation on species richness in tropical forests depends on the considered lifeform: results from an East African mountain forest [PDF]

, 2019
Elevation gradients in tropical forests have been studied but the analysis of patterns displayed by species richness and elevation have received little attention.

Habitat heterogeneity, temperature, and primary productivity drive elevational gradients in avian species diversity

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Aim Anticipating and mitigating the impacts of climate change on species diversity in montane ecosystems requires a mechanistic understanding of drivers of current patterns of diversity.

Snow Lapse Rate Changes in the Atlas Mountain in Morocco Based on MODIS Time Series during the Period 2000–2016

Remote Sensing, 2021
The spatio-temporal distribution of snow cover metrics in a mountainous area is mainly related to the climatic conditions as well as to the prevailing morphological conditions.

Integrating effects of species composition and soil properties to predict shifts in montane forest carbon-water relations. [PDF]

, 2018
This study was designed to address a major source of uncertainty pertaining to coupled carbon-water cycles in montane forest ecosystems. The Sierra Nevada of California was used as a model system to investigate connections between the physiological ...

Strong altitudinal partitioning in the distributions of ectomycorrhizal fungi along a short (300 m) elevation gradient [PDF]

, 2015
• Changes in species richness and distributions of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal communities along altitudinal gradients have been attributed to changes in both host distributions and abiotic variables.

Land use change drives the spatio-temporal variation of ecosystem services and their interactions along an altitudinal gradient in Brazil

Landscape Ecology, 2020
Context Land use and land cover (LULC) changes may affect the provision of ecosystem services. However, little is known how LULC changes influence the spatio-temporal variation in ecosystem service and their interactions along altitudinal gradients ...

Lauraceae Along an Altitudinal Gradient in Southern Brazil [PDF]

Floresta e Ambiente, 2019
ABSTRACT We performed a phytosociological study on an altitudinal gradient in Lauráceas State Park (Parque Estadual das Lauráceas/PR), aiming to describe the Montane Atlantic Rain Forest, to verify the importance of Lauraceae, and to evaluate the communities’ successional stage.
