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

open access: yesRemote 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.

The Effects of Land Use and Landscape Position on Soil Physicochemical Properties in a Semiarid Watershed, Northern Ethiopia

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Soil Science, 2020
Understanding topography effects and assessing the soil properties in different land use is an essential first step for sustainable soil management. Hence, land use type and altitudinal gradient on selected soil parameters were studied in Ayiba watershed,

Special issue in honour of Prof. Reto J. Strasser - Origin rather than mild drought stress influenced chlorophyll a fluorescence in contrasting silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) provenances

open access: yesPhotosynthetica, 2020
The performance of PSII photochemistry in five Central European provenances of silver fir differing in the altitude of origin (250-1,300 m a.s.l.) were studied using the chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters derived from the JIP-test.

Variations of leaf traits of an alpine shrub Sieversia pentapetala along an altitudinal gradient and under a simulated environmental change [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
P(論文)We investigated intraspecific variations of leaf traits such as number of leaves, leaf size, leaf mass per shoot, leaf mass per area (LMA) and leaf nitrogen concentration (leaf N), in a deciduous alpine dwarf shrub Sieversia pentapetala (L.) Greene (

Temporal variation and climate dependence of soil respiration and its components along a 3000 m altitudinal tropical forest gradient [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
To simulate the effect of temperature on soil respiration rates, we translocated soil cores among four sites (3030, 1500, 1000, and 200 m asl) along an altitudinal tropical forest gradient in the Peruvian Andes, traversing a difference in mean annual ...

Altitudinal Gradient of Evapotranspiration in Tropical Highlands

open access: yes, 2022
Tropical highlands supply water for large cities in the Andes. Based on meteorological records from three weather stations in the paramo Chingaza, Colombia evapotranspiration (ET) is estimated based on the Penman-Monteith (P-M) approach to compare the altitudinal variation and assess the radiation and aerodynamic effects on the water losses. This study

Differences of vegetation structure and diversity of a forest in an altitudinal gradient of the Sierra La Laguna Biosphere Reserve, Mexico

open access: yesBotan‪ical Sciences, 2018
Background: The Sierra La Laguna Biosphere Reserve is located which is considered an “island of vegetation” within an arid environment. Considering that this protected natural area has an altitudinal gradient that ranges from 500 to 2,100 meters above ...

Diversity of springtails (Hexapoda) according to a altitudinal gradient [PDF]

open access: yesPesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2009
The objective of this work was to elevate gradient effect on diversity of Collembola, in a temperate forest on the northeast slope of Iztaccíhuatl Volcano, Mexico. Four expeditions were organized from November 2003 to August 2004, at four altitudes (2,753, 3,015, 3,250 and 3,687 m a.s.l.). In each site, air temperature, CO2 concentration, humidity, and
