Assessment of leaf morphological, physiological, chemical and stoichiometry functional traits for understanding the functioning of Himalayan temperate forest ecosystem
Rawat, Monika; Arunachalam, Kusum; Arunachalam, Ayyandar; Alatalo, Juha M.; Pandey, Rajiv ( 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, ... -
Functionality of the temperate forests in the Western Himalaya with changing climate
Rawat, Monika; Pandey, Rajiv; Bhatt, Indra Dutt; Alatalo, Juha ( Springer , 2023 , Article)Climate change may potentially affect the biodiversity and functionality of forests globally. An understanding of the relationship between biodiversity and forest ecosystem functioning can be attained by evaluating variations ... -
Litter decomposition above the treeline in alpine regions: A mini review
Rawat, Monika; Jägerbrand, Annika K.; Bai, Yang; Alatalo, Juha M. ( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Litter decomposition is a key driver of ecosystem processes and carbon cycling. Decomposition rate is influenced by numerous factors, such as temperature, humidity, litter properties, soil properties, and properties of ... -
