Shrubs inhibit plant diseases by intercepting light in alpine meadows
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.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 ...

The Western End of the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
, 1989 The Tibetan plateau terminates between the NW-SE oriented, right-lateral strike slip Karakorum fault and the E-W oriented, left-lateral strike slip Altyn-Tagh fault, forming a wedge from wich Tibet is now being extruded eastwards.

Origin and radiative forcing of black carbon transported to the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
, 2010 The remote and high elevation regions of central Asia are influenced by black carbon (BC) emissions from a variety of locations. BC deposition contributes to melting of glaciers and questions exist, of both scientific and policy interest, as to the ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological communities are stressed by rapid and complex anthropogenic changes, threatening the persistence of biotic interactions and ecosystem functioning. Plant–pollinator communities, for instance, undergo structural transformations as a result of land‐use change ...

Long‐term warming drives mineral‐associated organic carbon accumulation on the Tibetan Plateau
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Global warming affects both plant growth and soil microbial decomposition, creating uncertainty for the storage and persistence of soil organic carbon (SOC) stock. Limited decomposition rates often characterise cold alpine ecosystems.

Human settlement of the last glaciation on the Tibetan plateau [PDF]
, 2003 An archaeological site with 19 handprints and footprints of Homo sapiens and the remnant of a fireplace have been found on hot spring travertine at an elevation of 4200 m on the Tibetan plateau. The prints were pressed on soft travertine by humans.

Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.Abstract Based on an analysis of the Old Literary Tibetan corpus—a corpus of the oldest documented Tibetic language—the present study provides evidence that literary Tibetan v3 verb stems (commonly termed ‘future’) initially encoded passive voice. New arguments put forward in this article range from Trans‐Himalayan nominal morphology to early Tibetan ...

Scientific DataPaleo-changes in upper range limit of trees provide a valuable analogue for understanding how high-elevational-trees may respond to future climate. Here, we presented a high-resolution (1 km) reconstruction of paleo-changes in the upper range limits of ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Host species emerge as a significant contributor to interspecies variations in the gut microbiota of desert‐dwelling amphibians and reptiles, illustrating phylosymbiosis among the studied species. Geographical factors partially account for interpopulation variations in the gut microbiota of Bufotes pewzowi and Teratoscincus przewalskii, with parallel ...
