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. ...
Feminization of hawksbill turtle hatchlings in the twenty-first century at an important regional nesting aggregation
(
Inter Research
, 2021 , Article)
Projected climate change is forecasted to have significant effects on biological systems worldwide. Marine turtles in particular may be vulnerable, as the sex of their offspring is determined by their incubating temperature, ...
Hiding in the background: community-level patterns in invertebrate herbivory across the tundra biome
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article)
Invertebrate herbivores depend on external temperature for growth and metabolism. Continued warming in tundra ecosystems is proposed to result in increased invertebrate herbivory. However, empirical data about how current ...
Assessment of climate change pattern in the Pauri Garhwal of the Western Himalayan Region: based on climate parameters and perceptions of forest-dependent communities
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
© 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG. This study assessed the climate change in Pauri district, Uttarakhand, India, a region highly vulnerable to climate change with potentially high loss of livelihoods and lives. The ...
Short-term behavioural responses to thermal stress by hawksbill turtles in the Arabian region
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
We present a previously unrecorded short-term behavioural response by hawksbill sea turtles to elevated sea surface temperatures in the Persian/Arabian Gulf. Surface waters typically exceed 30°C for sustained periods during ...
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 ...
Feminization of hawksbill turtle hatchlings in the twenty-first century at an important regional nesting aggregation
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
Projected climate change is forecasted to have significant effects on biological systems worldwide. Marine turtles in particular may be vulnerable, as the sex of their offspring is determined by their incubating temperature. ...
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 ...
