Altitudinal Gradient of Evapotranspiration in Tropical Highlands
, 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

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

Variation in woody leaf anatomical traits along the altitudinal gradient in Taibai Mountain, China
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 As important indicators of leaf traits, leaf anatomical traits are sensitive and adaptable to environmental changes. However, how leaf anatomical traits at species and community levels vary along the altitudinal gradients is still unclear. In this study,

Local adaptation with high gene flow: temperature parameters drive adaptation to altitude in the common frog (Rana temporaria) [PDF]
, 2014 Both environmental and genetic influences can result in phenotypic variation. Quantifying the relative contributions of local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity to phenotypes is key to understanding the effect of environmental variation on populations.
