Spatial and temporal effects on the value of ecosystem services in arid and semi-arid mountain areas—A case study from Helan Mountain in Ningxia, China

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
In the context of global warming and the continued increase in greenhouse gas emissions, the expansion of the global arid and semi-arid zones will accelerate, and there will be a risk of further land degradation.

Plant community assembly is jointly shaped by environmental and dispersal filtering along elevation gradients in a semiarid area, China

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Environmental filtering (EF) and dispersal filtering (DF) are widely known to shape plant community assembly. Particularly in arid and semi-arid mountainous regions, however, it remains unclear whether EF or DF dominate in the community assembly of ...

Sex-biased dispersal drives the difference of spatial patterns of mitochondrial and nuclear genetic structure in Alashan red deer (Cervus canadensis alashanicus)

Global Ecology and Conservation
Wildlife dispersal is a key biological process which affects population dynamics and gene flow. The study of the relationship between dispersal pattern and genetic structure is crucial to evaluate the population status and development.
