Abstract: Abstract Quantifying assemblage variation across environmental gradients provides insight into the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms that differentiate assemblages locally within a larger climate regime. We assessed how vascular plant functional composition and diversity varied across… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.catena.2016.10.008
Abstract: Abstract Up till now, the effect of topography on soils has usually been studied in mountainous areas, and any reference to relatively small-scale lowland landforms such as inland dunes has not been thus far recognized… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2023gl107316
Abstract: Vegetation growth is influenced by the microclimate driven by aspects, as evident in the asymmetric vegetation greenness on polar‐facing slopes (PFS) and equatorial‐facing slopes (EFS). However, it remains uncertain whether aspects influence vegetation phenology. To… read more here.

Microclimate Driven Grassland Greenness Asymmetry Between West‐ and East‐ Facing Slopes on the Tibetan Plateau

DOI: 10.1029/2024gl113327
Abstract: Slope orientation creates microclimate by modulating water and heat flux between the land surface and the atmosphere, thereby regulating vegetation growth and its response to background climate change. However, the potential asymmetry in vegetation greenness… read more here.
