The Adsorption Potential of Cr from Water by ZnO Nanoparticles Synthesized by Azolla pinnata
(2022 , Article)Aqueous solutions containing toxic elements (TEs) (such as hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) can be toxic to humans even at trace levels. Thus, removing TEs from the aqueous environment is essential for the protection of ... -
Agroecology as a Climate Change Adaptation Strategy for Smallholders of Tehri-Garhwal in the Indian Himalayan Region
( Springer Netherlands , 2017 , Article)Climate change is expected to increase temperatures and rainfall in the Himalayan region and place stress on local livelihoods by affecting agro-biodiversity, crop yield, cropping patterns and the species composition of ... -
Aquaculture sediments amended with biochar improved soil health and plant growth in a degraded soil
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Sustainable and safe management of aquaculture sediments is of great concern. Biochar (BC) and fishpond sediments (FPS) are rich in organic carbon and nutrients and thus can be used as soil amendments; however, it is not ... -
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. ... -
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, ... -
Asynchrony among local communities stabilises ecosystem function of metacommunities
( Blackwell Publishing Ltd , 2017 , Article)Temporal stability of ecosystem functioning increases the predictability and reliability of ecosystem services, and understanding the drivers of stability across spatial scales is important for land management and policy ... -
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 ... -
Bacterial community structure and predicted function in the rhizosphere of wild and cultivated date palms: Effects of Fertilizers on Composition and Functionality
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)This study investigated bacterial diversity in date palm rhizosphere and assessed the influence of different fertilizers on diversity using metagenomics. A total of 6356 Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) and 1164425 ... -
Benchmarking plant diversity of Palaearctic grasslands and other open habitats
( Wiley , 2021 , Article)Aims Understanding fine-grain diversity patterns across large spatial extents is fundamental for macroecological research and biodiversity conservation. Using the GrassPlot database, we provide benchmarks of fine-grain ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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. ... -
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 ... -
Changes in air quality during the first-level response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Shanghai Municipality, China
( MDPI , 2020 , Article)Ongoing rapid urban population growth world-wide has led to serious environmental problems that affect ecosystems and also lower the security and happiness of urban residents about their living environment. The most ... -
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 ... -
China's ecological civilization program-Implementing ecological redline policy
( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)China is one of the first countries to explicitly attempt to institute coordinated, ecosystem-based management across local, regional, and national scales. Chinese scientists have been urging policymakers to manage landscapes ... -
Climate change vulnerability and adaptation strategies for smallholder farmers in Yangi Qala District, Takhar, Afghanistan
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)© 2019 Elsevier Ltd Smallholder farmers in Afghanistan are already facing various risks in agricultural production due to past continuous insurgencies. Climate change is likely to amplify the risk and make them even more ... -
Climate change vulnerability in urban slum communities: Investigating household adaptation and decision-making capacity in the Indian Himalaya
( Elsevier B.V. , 2018 , Article)© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Climate change is predicted to have severe impacts on mountainous regions, including urban settlements, and livelihoods of the urban poor. Adaptive capacity for marginalized groups is largely determined ... -
Climate change will seriously impact bird species dwelling above the treeline: A prospective study for the Italian Alps
( Elsevier B.V. , 2017 , Article)High mountain systems are predicted to be especially vulnerable to the impact of climate change, with the climatically-constrained tree limit rapidly shifted upslope. In turn, the impact of upward treeline migration on ... -
Climatic drivers and ecological implications of variation in the time interval between leaf-out and flowering
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Leaf-out and flowering in any given species have evolved to occur in a predetermined sequence, with the inter-stage time interval optimized to maximize plant fitness. Although warming-induced advances of both leaf-out and ...
