DOI: 10.1007/s10980-020-01037-1
Abstract: Context Land use and land cover (LULC) changes may affect the provision of ecosystem services. However, little is known how LULC changes influence the spatio-temporal variation in ecosystem service and their interactions along altitudinal gradients.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11676-019-01060-2
Abstract: Leaf trait-based research has become the preferred method to understand the ecological strategies of plants. However, there is still a debate on whether area-based or mass-based traits provide different insights into environmental adaptations and responses.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0266467418000172
Abstract: Abstract: The functional composition of plant communities in montane regions has been studied for decades, and most recent analyses find that environmentally favourable landscapes at lower altitudes tend to be dominated by species with resource-acquisitive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/plb.13365
Abstract: 'Brejos de altitude' is an ecosystem that has been subjected to severe exploitation, leading to an intense reduction in Brazil. Understanding the patterns of bryophyte diversity and composition, particularly of specialized species such as the… read more here.

DOI: 10.13102/sociobiology.v72i1.11255
Abstract: Abrupt abiotic changes in mountain ecosystems act as environmental filters, influencing the phenotypic expressions of numerous organisms. On the other hand, these responses along altitude gradients for native species are little understood. In this work,… read more here.

Carbon stocks of three secondary coniferous forests along an altitudinal gradient on Loess Plateau in inland China
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "PLoS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0196927
Abstract: Natural forests in inland China are generally distributed in montane area and secondary due to a semi-arid climate and past anthropogenic disturbances. However, quantification of carbon (C) stock in these forests and the role of… read more here.
