Taxonomic diversity of Passifloraceae sensu stricto along altitudinal gradient and on Serra dos Órgãos mountain slopes in southeastern Brazil [PDF]
Rodriguésia, 2022 Altitudinal gradients, among other abiotic factors, are directly linked to species’ diversity patterns and distributions. Another important factor to be considered is the geographic position of a mountain chain, with oceanic and continental-facing slopes

Microbial carbon use efficiency along an altitudinal gradient [PDF]
Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2022 Soil microbial carbon-use efficiency (CUE), described as the ratio of growth over total carbon (C) uptake, i.e. the sum of growth and respiration, is a key variable in all soil organic matter (SOM) models and critical to ecosystem C cycling. However, there is still a lack of consensus on microbial CUE when estimated using different methods. Furthermore,

Should altitudinal gradients of temperature and precipitation inputs be inferred from key parameters in snow-hydrological models? [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2020 This paper evaluates whether snow-covered area and streamflow measurements can help assess altitudinal gradients of temperature and precipitation in data-scarce mountainous areas more efficiently than using the usual interpolation procedures.

Contrasting altitudinal variation of alpine plant communities along the Swedish mountains
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Changes in abiotic factors along altitudinal and latitudinal gradients cause powerful environmental gradients. The topography of alpine areas generates environmental gradients over short distances, and alpine areas are expected to experience greater ...

Integrating the effects of latitude and altitude on the spatial differentiation of plant community diversity in a mountainous ecosystem in China. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Varying patterns of plant community diversity along geographical gradients are a significant topic in biodiversity research. Here, to explore the integrated effects of latitude and altitude on the plant community diversity in a mountainous ecosystem, we ...
