Trace Elements and Temperature Combined to Regulate Zooplankton Community Structures in Mountain Streams [PDF]
BiologyZooplankton, as an important component of mountain river ecosystems, play a crucial role in the cycling of matter and the flow of energy. However, the depth and systematic research on the formation mechanisms and influencing factors of zooplankton ...

Glacier loss and vegetation expansion alter organic and inorganic carbon dynamics in high-mountain streams [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2023 High-mountain ecosystems are experiencing the acute effects of climate change, most visibly through glacier recession and the greening of the terrestrial environment.

The emergence time and flight routes used by lesser horseshoe bats of Radziechowy colony (Poland) [PDF]
Theriologia Ukrainica, 2019 Lesser horseshoes are bats quite strongly attached to their roost sites and are considered as sedentary species avoiding long-distance migration. In Poland, the range of occurrence of the lesser horseshoe bat is restricted to mountain areas, where they ...

Calculation of bedload transport in Swiss mountain rivers using the model sedFlow: proof of concept [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2015 Fully validated numerical models specifically designed for simulating bedload transport dynamics in mountain streams are rare. In this study, the recently developed modelling tool sedFlow has been applied to simulate bedload transport in the Swiss ...

Does the karst spring improve fish abiotic habitat in mountain streams? [PDF]
Journal of Water and Land DevelopmentMountain streams constitute challenging habitat for many fish species due to rapid and variable flow, cool temperature, and limited food resources. Groundwaters recharge by karst spring may however mitigate harsh habit conditions of mountain streams ...

Metacommunity Structures of Macroinvertebrates and Diatoms in High Mountain Streams, Yunnan, China
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 The metacommunity concept has received increasing interest in the past two decades. However, there has been limited research examining metacommunity structure of communities in high mountain streams.
