Shrubs inhibit plant diseases by intercepting light in alpine meadows

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1644-1655, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change is disproportionately impacting mountain ecosystems, leading to widespread shrub expansion into alpine meadows. Shrub encroachment alters the albedo, carbon budget and warming rate in alpine grasslands, but it remains challenging to predict how shrub ...

Environmental Preferences and Functional Variations of Methanotrophs in Northeast Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau Wetlands

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Significant environmental preference between type I and type II methanotrophs is regulated by soil ion concentration (pH and electrical conductivity) in wetlands. Type II methanotrophs (Methylocystis, etc.) contributes more to soil methane oxidation than type I methanotrophs.

Assembly and comparative analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of two species of Argentina (Rosaceae)

BMC Genomics
Background Argentina anserina and Argentina lineata are alpine plant species endemic to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). However, the dynamic features of their mitochondrial genome characteristics remain poorly characterized. Methods We conducted de novo

Integrative Advances in Equine Genomics From Reference Assemblies to Evolutionary History and Key Traits

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Horses are major domestic animals and cultural symbols that have accompanied humans for millennia. They underpin transport, agriculture, warfare and sport, and also provide a model for studying domestication, complex traits and adaptive evolution.

Chuzan Virus in Yaks, Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, China

, 2018
We detected Chuzan virus (CHUV) in domestic yaks from the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, western China, indicating CHUV probably has been transmitted to yaks in recent years.

Altitude‐Associated Divergence of the Gut Microbiome in Endangered Forest Musk Deer: Evidence From Integrated Metagenomics, Metabolomics, and Culturomics

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐altitude environments expose mammals and their gut symbionts to multifaceted stressors—hypoxia, cold, and intense UV radiation. Whether gut microbial communities undergo compositional restructuring in response to these stressors, and whether such restructuring carries translational value for captive conservation, remain unresolved ...

High methane emissions from a littoral zone on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

, 2009
The littoral zones of lakes have been regarded as hotspots of methane (CH4) fluxes through several studies. In the present study, we measured CH4 fluxes in six kinds of littoral zones of Huahu Lake on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau in the peak growing ...
