Elevational diversity gradient (EDG) is an ecological pattern where biodiversity changes with elevation. The EDG states that species richness tends to decrease as elevation increases, up …

Altitudinal zonation (or elevational zonation[1]) in mountainous regions describes the natural layering of ecosystems that occurs at distinct elevations due to varying environmental conditions.

2016年4月7日 · Our results indicate that the altitudinal pattern of plant and soil nutrient status differs among ecosystem components and that the relative importance of P vs. N limitation for …

Altitudinal gradients reflecting steep changes in a wide range of abiotic and biotic variables are excellent systems for examining adaptive divergence and its maintenance between plant …

2024年9月1日 · Here, we conducted a field investigation across altitudinal gradients (3093, 3296, 3549, and 3790 m) in the northern Tibetan Plateau and compared species composition, …

The altitudinal gradient in biodiversity refers to the change in the diversity of plant and animal species observed along an altitude gradient. This phenomenon is characterized by a …

2023年5月29日 · We compiled data from 118 studies of elevational gradients in a broad range of organisms of plant species throughout the world between 2001 and 2021 to estimate the …

2019年7月5日 · Here the relationship between vegetation activity and elevation is quantified as an elevational gradient (EG), which is defined as the average change of a vegetation activity …

2024年10月14日 · In mountainous or hilly terrain, the term “altitudinal gradient” describes a change in environmental parameters such as temperature, precipitation, and soil properties …

2007年11月1日 · Altitudinal gradients are among the most powerful ‘natural experiments’ for testing ecological and evolutionary responses of biota to geophysical influences, such as low …
