Liverworts of southwest Ethiopian montane forests: ecological and biogeographical notes

Journal of Bryology, 2010
Ethiopia has diverse topographic features and climatic conditions with a diverse flora. The liverwort flora of southwest Ethiopia is practically unknown, despite a favourable climate and the occurrence of suitable ecosystems such as montane rainforests.

Genomic demography predicts community dynamics in a temperate montane forest.

Science
Species population sizes fluctuate over time, and these temporal dynamics play a key role in governing the maintenance of biodiversity. Although modeling approaches have been developed to characterize fluctuations in species abundances, the data required

Ecological Effects of Higher Water Temperature in Experimental Montane Streams

2023
Montane rivers are some of the most pristine water sources on earth, providing a wide variety of ecosystem services to downstream regions. However, these cold-water ecosystems are at risk due to climatic warming and other anthropogenic impacts. Importantly, they are potentially being impacted by disproportionately higher rates of warming when compared ...

Diversity and function of soil microbes on montane gradients: The state of knowledge in a changing world.

FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2020
Mountains have a long history in the study of diversity. Like macroscopic taxa, soil microbes are hypothesized to be strongly structured by montane gradients, and recently there has been important progress in understanding how microbes are shaped by ...

Natural disturbance, vegetation patterns and ecological dynamics in tropical montane forests

Journal of Tropical Ecology, 2016
Abstract:Disturbance is a central process in forest dynamics, yet the role of natural disturbance in tropical montane forests (TMFs) has not been systematically addressed. We posit that disturbance in TMFs has a wider role than commonly acknowledged and its effects are distinctive because: (1) TMFs often have very low rates of productivity due to low ...

Presence of Servals (Leptailurus serval) in a Mature, Closed‐Canopy Tropical Moist Montane Rainforest Ecosystem Challenges Conventional Range Maps

African Journal of Ecology
Despite its widespread occurrence across Sub‐Saharan Africa, the serval (Leptailurus serval) remains largely understudied, especially within Central and Western Africa.

Winter ecology of American black bears in a desert montane island

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2005
Abstract American black bears (Ursus americanus) have recolonized western Texas following extirpation in the mid-1900s. Knowledge of winter ecology of black bears is important for conservation and management because denning, parturition, and early cub development occur during this period.

Ecology and Conservation of the Argentine Montane Forest

1995
In Argentina, the montane subtropical cloud forest is located in the extreme north of the country and is within the Atlantic forest in Misiones Province (in the northeast) and the yungas or Tucumano-Bolivian forest in the northwest of the country and in southern Bolivia (Departments of Chuquisaca andTarija).

The montane grasslands of the Western Ghats, India: Community ecology and conservation

Community Ecology, 2007
The montane (shola) grasslands of Western Ghats, South India are a component of a landscape mosaic including the better-studied shola forests. The conservation of the grasslands depends upon understanding their ecology. This review compiles available information and aims to evaluate the conservation potential of these grasslands.
