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.

Biotic rather than abiotic factors influence ground-dwelling mygalomorph spider assemblages along an altitudinal gradient in the Brazilian semi-arid domain [PDF]
Papéis Avulsos de ZoologiaThe species richness of organisms associated with altitudinal gradients tends to decline with increasing altitude, however, this pattern is not observed in mygalomorph.

Functional responses in a lizard along a 3.5‐km altitudinal gradient
Journal of Biogeography, 2023 AbstractAimPhysiological and metabolic performance are key mediators of the functional response of species to environmental change. Few environments offer such a multifaceted array of stressors as high‐altitude habitats, which differ markedly in temperature, water availability, UV radiation and oxygen pressure compared to low‐altitude habitats. Species

Macrofungi of the altitudinal gradient, Northern Rocky Mountains [PDF]
, 2021 Macrofungal communities of four altitudinal zones of the Northern Rocky Mountain region are described and compared with respect to species richness, production (g/100m2/yr), functional structure (mycorrhizal vs. decomposer), seasonality of activity and relationship to temperature and rainfall.

Methane-cycling microorganisms in soils of a high-alpine altitudinal gradient [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2016 Methanogens and methanotrophs play unique roles as producers and consumers of the greenhouse gas methane (CH4) in soils, respectively. Here, we aimed to reveal whether and to which extent methane-cyclers occur in high-alpine soils, and to assess their spatial distribution along an altitudinal gradient (2700-3500 m) in the Austrian Alps at sites located

, 1995 Life strategies of epiphytic bryophytes are studied along an altitudinal gradient from the eastern Congo basin (tropical lowland zone) to the mountains of the East-African graben (tropical subalpine/alpine Zone; BRYOTROP III-transect).
