Fungal root endophyte associations of plants endemic to the Pamir Alay Mountains of Central Asia [PDF]

Symbiosis, 2011
The fungal root endophyte associations of 16 species from 12 families of plants endemic to the Pamir Alay Mountains of Central Asia are presented. The plants and soil samples were collected in Zeravshan and Hissar ranges within the central Pamir Alay mountain system. Colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) was found in 15 plant species; in 8

Biogeography and diversification patterns in the Irano‐Turanian biodiversity hotspots inferred from a molecular phylogeny of the subendemic Iris subgenus Scorpiris (Iridaceae)

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
The Irano‐Turanian Floristic Region harbors a rich flora, but our understanding of the development of this diversity is limited by a lack of data on phylogenetic relationships and biogeographic patterns of endemic and more widespread plants. Hypotheses of in situ diversification versus allopatric diversification were tested using Iris subgen. Scorpiris,

Terrestrial Poor Ecohealth Areas Continue to Expand Across Asian Drylands

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The 7th Rio declaration principle emphasizes global collaboration to protect and restore ecosystem health. While dryland ecosystem health (EH) remains critical to global sustainability agendas, its long‐term regional dynamics remain poorly constrained across the Asian drylands (AD), where land management decisions increasingly shape ecological

Azan on the Moon: Entangling Modernity along Tajikistan's Pamir Highway

, 2017
Azan on the Moon is an in-depth anthropological study of people’s lives along the Pamir Highway in eastern Tajikistan. Constructed in the 1930s in rugged high-altitude terrain, the road fundamentally altered the material and social fabric of this former ...

Late Cenozoic Convergence Between the Pamir and the Tianshan Revealed by Low‐Temperature Thermochronology

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Cenozoic India–Eurasia collision drove widespread deformation across Central Asia, culminating in northward indentation of the Pamir and its eventual contact with the South Tianshan. However, the timing and kinematics of Pamir–Tianshan convergence, as well as its influence on regional topography and climate, remain debated. Here, we report

Trends for snow cover and river flows in the Pamirs (Central Asia)

, 2012
Abstract. In the often discussed Aral Sea basin (Central Asia), water availability depends essentially on the high mountains located in its eastern part, especially from the Pamir Alay Range where the Vakhsh and Pyandj Rivers, the main tributaries of the Amu Darya River, flow.

Identifying priority areas to guide management planning of a protected area network to support snow leopard (Panthera uncia) in Asia

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
We analysed a total of 512 protected areas (PAs) across 13 snow leopard range countries, utilizing graph theory coupled with resistant kernels, to rank and prioritize PAs for management decisions. We found that protection status often did not correspond with PA importance for connectivity, critical PAs tended to be clustered at international borders ...

Amplification of Outburst Floods During Cascading Landslide Dam Failures: Insights From Numerical and Experimental Modeling

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Landslide dam failures can trigger catastrophic outburst floods in downstream regions. During cascading dams' failure, a notable amplification in flood magnitude is often observed. However, the mechanisms and influencing factors behind this amplification effect remain unclear.
