Bryophyte cover and richness decline after 18 years of experimental warming in alpine Sweden.
(
Oxford University Press
, 2020 , Article)
Climate change is expected to affect alpine and Arctic tundra communities. Most previous long-term studies have focused on impacts on vascular plants, this study examined impacts of long-term warming on bryophyte communities. ...
Background invertebrate herbivory on dwarf birch (Betula glandulosa-nana complex) increases with temperature and precipitation across the tundra biome
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
Chronic, low intensity herbivory by invertebrates, termed background herbivory, has been understudied in tundra, yet its impacts are likely to increase in a warmer Arctic. The magnitude of these changes is however hard to ...
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 ...
Variation in plant litter decomposition rates across extreme dry environments in Qatar
(
University of Akron
, 2017 , Article Review)
Decomposition of plant litter is a key process for transfer of carbon and nutrients in ecosystems. Carbon contained in decaying biomass is released to the atmosphere as respired CO2, a greenhouse gas that contributes to ...
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 ...
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 ...
Impacts of seven years of experimental warming and nutrient addition on neighbourhood species interactions and community structure in two contrasting alpine plant communities
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Global change is predicted to have major impacts on alpine and arctic ecosystems. Plant fitness and growth will be determined by how plants interact with each other at smaller scales. Local-scale neighbourhood interactions ...
Spatio-temporal variation in potential habitats for rare and endangered plants and habitat conservation based on the maximum entropy model
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Rare and endangered plants (REPs) act as key indicators for species habitat priorities, and can thus be critical in global biodiversity protection work. Human activities and climate change pose great threats to REPs, so ...
