Soil integrates microbiotas of various living organisms. We reveal how (a)biotic factors shape microbial communities, highlighting host-habitat associations across an alpine elevation gradient.
Priority areas for nature-based adaptation to drought in the Alps
Priority areas for adaptation to drought do not maximize mitigation nor biodiversity conservation in the European Alps, fostering the need to identify opportunities and barriers in spatial planning.
The development of plant–microbe networks following glacier retreat
Using field survey and environmental DNA, we assessed the effects of plant succession on soil microbial communities at 3 different levels: patch, rhizosphere, and endosphere.
Response of CO2 fluxes exchange to irrigation and drought stress in mountain ecosystems: the Levionaz (Gran Paradiso National Park) case study
We assess irrigation and drought effects on CO2 fluxes in a mountain grassland. Differences in flux sensitivity to VWC suggest that low-intensity irrigation can sustain CO₂ exchange during droughts
Mountains and Tourism: Impacts and Adaptations
The study focus on the impacts of tourism in the cold desert of Ladakh in India. it also discusses the adaptation strategies of the cold desert with the changing scenario.
Biotic and abiotic constraints of Scots pine and mountain birch seedlings on the treeline ecotone of subarctic Finnish Lapland
The study explores biotic and abiotic factors affecting Scots pine and mountain birch seedling growth and abundance in Finnish subarctic.
The response of two inverted tree lines under possible elevational-dependent warming: Southern Sierra Nevada, California USA
A canopy and soil temperature sensor transect across inverted tree line boundaries/cold pools shows a decrease in temperature inversions and intensity over time possibly linked to EDW
Non-native species follow people not only along roads but also on trails: results from a multiregional comparison
Our study on trail plant invasions found that abiotic and biotic factors influenced non-native success. Anthropogenic factors played a minor role, but off trail use may have influenced their spread.
Assessing Climatic Influences on δ¹³C Chronologies of Trees in the Nepal Himalayas
This study compares δ¹³C chronologies of Abies spectabilis from eastern and central Nepal Himalayas to understand regional climatic impacts and tree physiological responses.
Carbon dynamics of warming and drought field manipulative experiments in grasslands globally: a meta-analysis
This analysis examines usewear on a large sample of Paleoindian end scrapers from the northern Rocky Mountains.d
