Responses of lichen communities to 18 years of natural and experimental warming
(
Oxford University Press
, 2017 , Article)
Background and Aims Climate change is expected to have major impacts on high alpine and arctic ecosystems in the future, but empirical data on the impact of long-term warming on lichen diversity and richness are sparse. ...
Effects of ambient climate and three warming treatments on fruit production in an alpine, subarctic meadow community
(
Wiley
, 2021 , Article)
Premise
Climate change is having major impacts on alpine and arctic regions, and inter‐annual variations in temperature are likely to increase. How increased climate variability will impact plant reproduction is ...
Impacts of different climate change regimes and extreme climatic events on an alpine meadow community
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2016 , Article)
Climate variability is expected to increase in future but there exist very few experimental studies that apply different warming regimes on plant communities over several years. We studied an alpine meadow community under ...
Planning for assisted colonization of plants in a warming world
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2016 , Article)
Assisted colonization is one way of facilitating range shifts for species that are restricted in their ability to move in response to climate change. Here we conceptualize and apply a new decision framework for modelling ...
Correlations between socioeconomic drivers and indicators of urban expansion: Evidence from the heavily urbanised Shanghai metropolitan area, China
(
MDPI AG
, 2017 , Article)
Rapid urban expansion resulting in increased impervious surfaces causes a series of urban environmental problems, e.g., the urban heat island and urban forest fragmentation. Urban expansion is a serious threat to human ...
Collembola at three alpine subarctic sites resistant to twenty years of experimental warming
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2015 , Article)
This study examined the effects of micro-scale, site and 19 and 21 years of experimental warming on Collembola in three contrasting alpine subarctic plant communities (poor heath, rich meadow, wet meadow). Unexpectedly, ...
Community and species-specific responses of plant traits to 23 years of experimental warming across subarctic tundra plant communities
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2017 , Article)
To improve understanding of how global warming may affect competitive interactions among plants, information on the responses of plant functional traits across species to long-term warming is needed. Here we report the ...
Comparing connection to theory in Bachelor's theses: Old research university versus new regional university college
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Article)
Quality of higher education is often assumed to be linked to the size of the faculty. Therefore, this study tested the hypothesis whether Bachelor's theses in ecology at a large, old research university would have more ...
Ecosystem service supply and demand: Theory and management application
(
ACTA ECOLOGICA SINICA
, 2017 , Article)
Ecosvstem service is a very important issue for current, sustainable scientific research. Environmental protection and management requirements are increasing and policymakers hope to incorporate ecological service information ...
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 ...
