Multi-omics profiling reveals single-seed mutants of Ephedra saxatilis as dominant variants in high-altitude Xizang

BMC Plant Biology
Ephedra species, important Tibetan medicinal plants, are widely distributed across the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at altitudes of 2700–5000 m. Their adaptation to high-altitude environments, such as low temperatures, strong UV radiation and low oxygen, is ...

Effects of Surface Characteristics on the Existence of Isolated Permafrost in Northeastern Mongolia

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isolated patches of permafrost, where ground thermal changes are affected by ecosystem factors such as vegetation cover rather than climate, may be vulnerable to environmental disturbances in semiarid regions. However, the impacts of ecosystem factors remain underevaluated in Mongolia.

Nitrogen deposition does not exacerbate phosphorus limitation of rhizosphere microbes in subalpine forests

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The stoichiometric imbalance caused by nitrogen (N) deposition typically exacerbates phosphorus (P) limitation in plants. However, it remains unclear whether this effect extends to soil microbes, particularly those in the rhizosphere.
