Grassland Research, EarlyView.Our modeling study shows that livestock management strongly influences grazing behavior and animal performance in the Peruvian Andes. Furthermore, adjusting stocking rates and improving animal distribution can enhance forage intake and body condition while increasing forage biomass.

Mountain glaciers: on thinning ice [PDF]
, 2014 Mountain glaciers are key indicators of climate change. Glacier changes are the most visible evidence of global climate change we have. They affect the appearance of the landscape in high mountains and impact regional water supplies, local hazard ...

THE GLACIER COMPLEXES OF THE MOUNTAIN MASSIFS OF THE NORTH-WEST OF INNER ASIA AND THEIR DYNAMICS
Geography, Environment, Sustainability, 2011 The subject of this paper is the glaciation of the mountain massifs Mongun-Taiga, Tavan-Boghd-Ola, Turgeni-Nuru, and Harhira-Nuru. The glaciation is represented mostly by small forms that sometimes form a single complex of dome-shaped peaks. According to

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Caves are extreme environments that impose stringent selective pressures on organisms. Consequently, many cave dwellers show extreme adaptations such as the loss of eyes, depigmentation, and a low resting metabolic rate. Yet, how the initial stages of adaptation to these extreme environments take place remains poorly understood.

Internal structure of a Himalayan debris-covered glacier revealed by borehole optical televiewing
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Characterising the structures within glaciers can give unique insight into ice motion processes. On debris-covered glaciers, traditional structural glaciological mapping is challenging because the lower glacier is hidden by the supraglacial debris layer.

Mountain glaciers under a changing climate [PDF]
, 2018 Mountain glaciers are found around the world in ranges such as the Himalaya, the Andes and the European Alps. The majority of mountain glaciers world‐wide are shrinking.

Station‐Based Assessment of Sub‐Seasonal Climate Trends in the Tyrolean Alps (Austria)
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.In this study, we quantify the magnitude and significance of sub‐seasonal trends in the Tyrolean Alps (Austria) by collecting, processing and analysing meteorological observations from a dense network of climate stations. Our analysis indicates a warming rate of 0.43°C/dec over 1964–2023, greater sub‐seasonal trend variability when the analysis window ...

Geophysical Research LettersThe processes of ice incorporation into rock glaciers have been difficult to quantify in both permafrost and non‐permafrost conditions. Here, we develop a numerical model that regardless of the presence of permafrost, reveals how debris eroded from ...

Accelerated Volume Loss in Glacier Ablation Zones of NE Greenland, Little Ice Age to Present
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 Mountain glaciers at the periphery of the Greenland ice sheet are a crucial freshwater and sediment source to the North Atlantic and strongly impact Arctic terrestrial, fjord, and coastal biogeochemical cycles. In this study we mapped the extent of 1,848

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Ongoing changes in mountain glaciers affect local water resources, hazard potential and global sea level. An increasing proportion of remaining mountain glaciers are affected by the presence of a surface cover of rock debris, and the response of these ...
