Winters are changing: snow effects on Arctic and alpine tundra ecosystems
(
Canadian Science Publishing
, 2022 , Article)
Snow is an important driver of ecosystem processes in cold biomes. Snow accumulation determines ground temperature, light conditions and moisture availability during winter. It also affects the growing season’s start and ...
Global maps of soil temperature
(
Wiley
, 2022 , Article)
Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic grids do not reflect conditions below vegetation ...
Socio-ecological vulnerability and resilience of mountain communities residing in capital-constrained environments
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
The study evaluated perceived reactions and counter-actions of Himalayan communities to climate change. The evaluation was conducted through identification and characterization of 62 socio-environment-specific indicators ...
Effects of Coupling Water and Fertilizer on Agronomic Traits, Sugar Content and Yield of Sugarcane in Guangxi, China
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
This work is a contribution to applied water and fertilizer coupling efforts aiming at increasing crop productivity on sugarcane plantations through the analysis of average cane yields obtained following main agronomic ...
Assessment of leaf morphological, physiological, chemical and stoichiometry functional traits for understanding the functioning of Himalayan temperate forest ecosystem
(
Nature Research
, 2021 , Article)
Leaf functional traits support plant survival and growth in different stress and disturbed conditions and respond according to leaf habit. The present study examined 13 leaf traits (3 morphological, 3 chemical, 5 physiological, ...
Coupling phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) with inorganic phosphorus fertilizer improves mungbean (Vigna radiata) phosphorus acquisition, nitrogen fixation, and yield in alkaline-calcareous soil
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
To overcome the problems associated with soil phosphorus (P) insolubility, soil inoculation with phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) can be used. In a field experiment, we evaluated the efficacy of PSB in enhancing ...
The Global Soil Mycobiome consortium dataset for boosting fungal diversity research
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
Fungi are highly important biotic components of terrestrial ecosystems, but we still have a very limited understanding about their diversity and distribution. This data article releases a global soil fungal dataset of 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 ...
Distribution, pollution, and human health risks of persistent and potentially toxic elements in the sediments around Hainan Island, China
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Human activities have changed the global concentration of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) and significantly altered the marine ecosystem. Little is known about the concentrations of these PTEs around Hainan Island in ...
