From shadows to data: first robust population assessment of snow leopards in Pakistan

Ecography, EarlyView.
The snow leopard Panthera uncia is a flagship species of the greater Himalayan region and symbolizes the integrity of this ecological system. Within the greater Himalayas, Pakistan holds special significance as the north of the country represents a confluence of three major mountain ranges (Hindu Kush, Pamir–Karakoram, and Himalaya).

The impact of clouds, land use and snow cover on climate in the Canadian Prairies [PDF]

Advances in Science and Research, 2016
This study uses 55 years of hourly observations of air temperature, relative humidity, daily precipitation, snow cover and cloud cover from 15 climate stations across the Canadian Prairies to analyze biosphere-atmosphere interactions.

Long‐term benefits of burns for large mammal habitat undermined by large, severe fires in the American West

Ecography, EarlyView.
Escalating wildfire frequency and severity are altering wildland habitats worldwide. Yet investigations into fire impacts on wildlife habitat rarely extend to the macroecological scales relevant to species conservation and global change processes. We evaluate the effects of wildfire on habitat quality and selection by large mammals spanning three ...

An Optimized Variational Processing Method Based on Satellite-Station Data on Snow Cover Days on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Remote Sensing
The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau is a sensitive area to climate change, and snow cover has an important impact. Due to the high altitude and complex terrain, station observations of snow cover on the plateau are sparse but objective, while satellite data have ...

Moss diatoms show regional structuring, high potential endemism, and an inverse latitudinal diversity gradient in the Arctic

Ecography, EarlyView.
Microorganisms perform essential functions in Arctic terrestrial ecosystems. Yet, their ecology and biogeography are poorly understood, despite being necessary to predict microbial responses to future climate change. Here, we provide the first large‐scale floristic and biogeographic study of the moss diatom flora in the tundra regions of the North ...

Dynamic identification of snow phenology in the Northern Hemisphere [PDF]

The Cryosphere
Snow phenology characterizes the cyclical changes in snow and has become an important indicator of climate change in recent decades. Changes in snow phenology can significantly impact climate and hydrological conditions.

Flexible Chromatic VIS‐IR Meta‐Textile for Multi‐Scenario Stealth

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A flexible chromatic meta‐textile was developed for multi‐spectral stealth across VIS‐IR bands, combining low color difference, ultralow infrared emissivity, and passive radiative cooling. The textile exhibits excellent VIS wide‐angle compatibility, optical durability, and mechanical flexibility, offering a promising solution for advanced stealth ...

Simulations of snow distribution and hydrology in a mountain basin [PDF]

, 1999
We applied a version of the Regional Hydro‐Ecologic Simulation System (RHESSys) that implements snow redistribution, elevation partitioning, and wind‐driven sublimation to Loch Vale Watershed (LVWS), an alpine‐subalpine Rocky Mountain catchment where ...
