Founders Can Increase Determinism of Community Assembly
Ecology and EvolutionThe effect of founders (the potential influence of initially colonizing species on the composition, functionality, and stability of communities) plays a crucial role in community assembly; many experimental studies on priority effects or artificially ...

Grassland Research, EarlyView.Plant species richness was greater in summer in both alpine and subalpine grassland ecosystems. Soil moisture demonstrates significant positive correlations with soil organic carbon and total nitrogen across seasonal periods. Microbial α‐diversity peaks during summer but maintains functional stability across seasons.

How Well Is Surface Diurnal Temperature Range Represented by Observations at 2‐m Level
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.We demonstrate that geostationary satellites depict well the Diurnal Temperature Range (DTR) in the US but differ from information at 2 m level from model outputs. Upper: mean diurnal temperature range (DTR) using GOES‐E based land surface temperature (LST) for January (left) and July (right) during 2004–2009. Lower: mean diurnal temperature range (DTR)

The spatial variation of Asian dust and marine aerosol contributions to glaciochemical signals in central Asia [PDF]
, 1992 Short-term (6 months to 17 years) glaciochemical records have been collected from several glacier basins in the mountains of central Asia. The spatial distribution of snow chemistry in central Asia is controlled by the influx of dust from the large ...

Ethnobotany in the Nepal Himalaya [PDF]
Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine, 2008 Indigenous knowledge has become recognized worldwide not only because of its intrinsic value but also because it has a potential instrumental value to science and conservation. In Nepal, the indigenous knowledge of useful and medicinal plants has roots in the remote past.The present study reviews the indigenous knowledge and use of plant resources of ...

Heatwave Characteristics and Trends Across Eight Japanese Cities
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Heatwaves occur with high likelihood across Japan. Strong north–south contrasts exist in heatwave characteristics. Southern locations experience more frequent, longer, and more intense heatwaves. Since 1955 there has been an increase in heatwave frequency, duration, and cumulative heat, particularly for nocturnal heatwaves. ABSTRACT This study provides
