Braking effect of climate and topography on global change-induced upslope forest expansion
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
Forests are expected to expand into alpine areas due to global climate change. It has recently been shown that temperature alone cannot realistically explain this process and that upslope tree advance in a warmer scenario ...
Changes in plant composition and diversity in an alpine heath and meadow after 18 years of experimental warming
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
Global warming is expected to have large impacts on high alpine and Arctic ecosystems in the future. Here we report effects of 18 years of experimental warming on two contrasting high alpine plant communities in subarctic ...
Climate Warming Consistently Reduces Grassland Ecosystem Productivity
(
Advanced Earth And Science
, 2021 , Article)
Future climate may profoundly impact the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. However, we do not know well how the functioning of different types of grassland ecosystems is associated with variation in temperature and ...
Analysis and quality of service evaluation of a fast charging station for electric vehicles
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Electrification of transportation is considered as one of the most promising ways to mitigate climate change and reduce national security risks from oil and gasoline imports. Fast charging stations that provide high quality ...
Surface soil carbon storage in urban green spaces in three major South Korean cities
(
MDPI AG
, 2016 , Article)
Quantifying and managing carbon (C) storage in urban green space (UGS) soils is associated with the ecosystem services necessary for human well-being and the national C inventory report of the Intergovernmental Panel on ...
Short-term effects of warming treatment and precipitation manipulation on the ecophysiological responses of pinus densiflora seedlings
(
Turkiye Klinikleri Journal of Medical Sciences
, 2016 , Article)
The aim of this study was to investigate the short-term effects of warming treatment and precipitation manipulation on the growth, photosynthetic rate, and chlorophyll content of Pinus densiflora seedlings based on a climate ...
Exploring the compass of potential changes induced by climate warming in plant communities
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
New models are required to predict the impacts of future climate change on biodiversity. A move must be made away from individual models of single species toward approaches with synergistically interacting species. The ...
Quantification of ecosystem services providing socio-economic benefits to customary owners of natural resources in Pauri, western Himalaya
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Climate change has negative consequences for the biophysical environment and an observable impact on flows of ecosystem services. Considering the high relevance of ecosystem services, it is imperative to analyze the present ...
Impact of ambient temperature, precipitation and seven years of experimental warming and nutrient
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Global change is causing changes in temperature, precipitation, and nutrient availability. Alpine and polar regions are predicted to be among the most vulnerable for these changes. We applied a seven-year factorial experiment ...
Impacts of environment and human activity on grid-scale land cropping suitability and optimization of planting structure, measured based on the MaxEnt model
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Making full use of agricultural resource endowment, determining the planting suitability of areas for different crops according to the environment and human activities, and optimizing planting structure are important ways ...
