The distribution and species diversity of plant communities along a 600 km transect through
the northeastern Tibetan Plateau (32° 42′–35° 07′ N, 101° 02′–97° 38′ E) with …

Abstract Aim The Tibetan Plateau harbours the highest alpine and endemic plant diversity in
the world, attributed to rapid diversification during the plateau uplift and Quaternary climate …

Aim: To present a first description of plant communities of the Tibetan alpine steppes based
on floristically complete vegetation records as a baseline reference for future ecological and …

Climate variability has been impacting the terrestrial ecosystems. However, some important
processes relating to the response of vegetation to climate change in alpine regions, such …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau (Qinghai-Xizang Plateau) is a unique biogeographic region in
the world, where various landscapes, altitudinal belts, alpine ecosystems, and endangered …

Shangri-La Gorge, located in Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Northwest Yunnan,
has a unique landscape and is abundant in biodiversity. As the dominant indigenous …

Exploring plant community phylogenetic structure along precipitation and temperature
gradients can facilitate the study of mechanisms governing community assembly. Herein, we …

To explore the altitudinal differentiation of flora of Mt. Gongga and its relationship with those
of surrounding areas, we investigated eight vertical vegetation zones on the eastern slope of …

Background: The study of the variation in species composition and richness along gradients
has a long history in ecology. Despite this, knowledge about how composition and richness …

A bioclimatic model was used to simulate distributions of the dominant tree species on the
Tibetan Plateau. The model is based on physiological constraints to alpine plant growth. The …
