Progress on Geographical Distribution, Driving Factors and Ecological Functions of Nepalese Alder

Diversity, 2023
As the oldest species of Betulaceae, Nepalese alder (Alnus nepalensis) shows a high capacity for nitrogen fixation, rapid growth rate, and strong adaptability to stress environments, and it plays an important role in maintaining the structure and ...

Pearl's causality for integrating ecological datasets: A case study on Myricaria germanica in northern Italy

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Applied ecology can significantly influence policy decisions on environmental issues. Therefore, research in this field should be as transparent and reproducible as possible. Existing expertise from a broad range of disciplines should also be integrated into ecological research to allow researchers to maximize understanding of complex ...

Genetic Diversity, Adaptation, Wild Introgression, and Coat Color Mutation of Golden Yak

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Genetic diversity, adaptation, wild introgression, and coat color mutation of golden yak from two populations on the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau. ABSTRACT The golden yak lives on the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau with a golden coat and adapts to high altitudes and strong ultraviolet environment. The golden coat is a prominent phenotype in many domesticated species,

Assessing spatiotemporal characteristics of atmospheric water cycle processes over the Tibetan Plateau using the WRF model and finer box model

Scientific Reports
The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is the highest and one of the most extensive plateaus in the world and serves as a hotspot of climate change. In the context of climate warming, changes in evapotranspiration (ET) and external water vapor transport have a ...

Ensemble numerical simulation of permafrost thermal regimes over the Tibetan Plateau using the Flexible Permafrost Model: 1950–2023 [PDF]

The Cryosphere
Permafrost is a subsurface phenomenon that is difficult to be measured directly, and understanding its dynamics as well as influences under a warming climate depends critically on numerical simulations.

Effects of phosphorus application on soil phosphorus forms and phoD-harboring microbial communities in an alpine grassland on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Phosphorus (P) application to terrestrial ecosystems affects not only aboveground plants but also soil P forms and phosphatase-associated microbes. The phoD gene is widespread in soil and plays an important role in P transformation.

Adaptive Genomic Divergence Across Altitudes in Capsella bursa‐pastoris

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Genomic divergence was observed between high‐altitude and low‐altitude populations of Capsella bursa‐pastoris in China, consistent with an important role of ecological factors. Candidate adaptive loci associated with enhanced energy metabolism, photoprotection, and growth plasticity under altitudinal stress were identified.

Importance of fluvial inflows in the intra-lake heterogeneity of surface water temperatures on the Tibetan Plateau

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
Lakes on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) are highly responsive to environmental change. Spatiotemporal variations in the lake surface water temperature (LSWT) significantly impact regional ecosystem stability, carbon cycling, and regional climate.
