Biomass loss in village ecosystems in Western Himalaya due to wild monkey interactions: A case study
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Conservation faces the challenge of reconciling human activities with the simultaneous presence of wildlife in cultivated landscapes. In a study carried out in two villages of Pauri Garhwal, Western Himalaya, an attempt ...
Predicting litter decomposition rate for temperate forest tree species by the relative contribution of green leaf and litter traits in the Indian Himalayas region
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
We examined eight green leaf traits (leaf area, specific leaf area, leaf dry matter, leaf water content, leaf carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous, and chlorophyll) and eight litter traits (cellulose, lignin, litter carbon, ...
Visitors off the trail: Impacts on the dominant plant, bryophyte and lichen species in alpine heath vegetation in sub-arctic Sweden
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Alpine ecosystems are under increasing pressure due to tourism and recreational activities. When leaving designated trails as is frequently observed, visitors can cause unintentional damage to vegetation. This study ...
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 ...
Legacy effects of experimental environmental change on soil micro-arthropod communities
(
wiley
, 2020 , Article)
© 2020 The Authors. Global change experiments such as experimental warming and nutrient addition strongly affect the structure and functioning of high latitude and altitude ecosystems. However, it is often unknown to what ...
Decomposition rate and stabilization across six tundra vegetation types exposed to >20 years of warming
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
© 2020 The Authors Aims: Litter decomposition is an important driver of soil carbon and nutrient cycling in nutrient-limited Arctic ecosystems. However, climate change is expected to induce changes that directly or indirectly ...
A green method for removing chromium (VI) from aqueous systems using novel silicon nanoparticles: Adsorption and interaction mechanisms
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
In the present study, we used the horsetail plant (Equisetum arvense) as a green source to synthesize silicon nanoparticles (GS-SiNPs), considering that it could be an effective adsorbent for removing chromium (Cr (VI)) ...
Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Fungi Integrated with Single Super Phosphate Improve Wheat-nitrogen-phosphorus Acquisition, Yield, Root Infection Activity, and Spore Density in Alkaline-calcareous Soil
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
The potential productivity of calcareous soils is high when adequate nutrients can be available. However, these soils are frequently deficient in nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) and cannot meet plant nutrient requirements. ...
Can bryophyte groups increase functional resolution in tundra ecosystems?
(
Canadian Science Publishing
, 2022 , Article Review)
The relative contribution of bryophytes to plant diversity, primary productivity, and ecosystem functioning increases towards colder climates. Bryophytes respond to environmental changes at the species level, but because ...
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 ...
