Intra-Annual Course of Canopy Parameters and Phenological Patterns for a Mixed and Diverse Deciduous Forest Ecosystem Along the Altitudinal Gradients Within a Dam Reservoir Landscape

Diversity
Within a dam reservoir landscape in the Western Black Sea Region of Türkiye, a dense young-mature stand composed diversely of oriental beeches, European hornbeams, sessile oaks, and silver lindens was chosen as a study field to analyze canopy parameters ...

Human activities accelerated the degradation of saline seepweed red beaches by amplifying top‐down and bottom‐up forces [PDF]

, 2018
Salt marshes dominated by saline seepweed (Suaeda heteroptera) provide important ecosystem services such as sequestering carbon (blue carbon), maintaining healthy fisheries, and protecting shorelines. These salt marshes also constitute stunning red beach

Low elevation of Svalbard glaciers drives high mass loss variability

Nature Communications, 2020
Compared to other Arctic ice masses, Svalbard glaciers are low-elevated with flat interior accumulation areas, resulting in a marked peak in their current hypsometry (area-elevation distribution) at ~450 m above sea level.

Controlling Factors of the Spatial‐Temporal Fluctuations in Evapotranspiration Along an Elevation Gradient Across Humid Montane Ecosystems

Water Resources Research, 2023
Diverse meteorological and vegetation conditions at different elevations and years lead to varied contributions of evapotranspiration (ET) to water yield in montane areas. However, how physical and biological factors affect interannual and elevational ET

A network-indexbased version of TOPMODEL for use with high-resolution digital topographic data [PDF]

, 2004
This paper describes the preliminary development of a network index approach to modify and to extend the classic TOPMODEL. Application of the basic Beven and Kirkby (1979) form of TOPMODEL to high resolution (2.0 m) laser altimetric data (based upon the ...

Tributary Glacier Surges: An Exceptional Concentration at Panmah Glacier, Karakoram Himalaya [PDF]

, 2007
Four tributaries of Panmah Glacier have surged in less than a decade, three in quick succession between 2001 and 2005. Since 1985, 13 surges have been recorded in the Karakoram Himalaya, more than in any comparable period since the 1850s.

Ant Diversity Declines with Increasing Elevation along the Udzungwa Mountains, Tanzania

Diversity, 2022
Biodiversity patterns along elevational gradients are generally characterised by monotonic decreases or mid-elevational peaks in species richness, while elevational zones may be characterised by distinct assemblages, or higher zones may be subsets of ...

Grasshoppers’ adaptation to elevated radioactivity in the Chernobyl exclusion zone [PDF]

, 2013
The explosion of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 1986 was categorized as the most severe nuclear accident in history, resulting in some of the most radioactively contaminated habitats on Earth. The consequence was an increased mutation and mortality rate in biota, which caused major damage on the ecosystem level, observed as local extinction and ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.
