Effects of a Cattle and Sheep Dung Sand Barrier on Desertified Grassland Restoration in Alpine Area
Shuitu baochi tongbao, 2023 [Objective] The effects of plant fiber sand barriers, cattle and sheep dung barriers, and sand barriers comprised of cattle and sheep dung combined with plant fiber were studied in order to create effective sand barriers for the restoration of ...

Grazing decreases net ecosystem carbon exchange by decreasing shrub and semi‐shrub biomass in a desert steppe [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionLivestock grazing can strongly determine how grasslands function and their role in the carbon cycle. However, how ecosystem carbon exchange responds to grazing and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Snowmelt-triggered debris flows in seasonal snowpacks [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Snowmelt-triggered debris flows commonly occur in mountains. On 14 June 2019, a debris flow occurred on a steep, east-facing slope composed of unconsolidated glacial and periglacial sediments in Yosemite National Park. Originating as a shallow landslide,

Changes in plant species richness distribution in Tibetan alpine grasslands under different precipitation scenarios [PDF]
, 2020 Species richness is the core of biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BEF) research. Nevertheless, it is difficult to accurately predict changes in plant species richness under different climate scenarios, especially in alpine biomes.

A Real-Time Multiplexed Microbial Growth Intervalometer for Capturing High-Resolution Growth Curves
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Batch cultures are a low maintenance and routine culturing method in microbiology. Automated tools that measure growth curves from microorganisms grown in traditional laboratory glassware, such as Balch-type tubes, are not commercially available.

Drought Sensitivity and Trends of Riparian Vegetation Vigor in Nevada, USA (1985–2018)
Remote Sensing, 2020 Dryland riparian areas are under increasing stress due to expanding human water demands and a warming climate. Quantifying responses of dryland riparian vegetation to these pressures is complicated by high climatic variability, which can create strong ...
