Climate change and alpine-adapted insects: modelling environmental envelopes of a grasshopper radiation

<p>Mountains create steep environmental gradients that are sensitive barometers of climate change. We modelled the environmental envelopes of twelve predominantly alpine, flightless grasshopper species in Aotearoa New Zealand, using current conditions and two future global climate change scenarios: representative concentration pathway (RCP) 2.6 (1.0 °C raise) and RCP8.5 (3.7 °C raise). Two thirds of our models suggested a reduced potential range across species by 2070, but surprisingly, for six species we predict an increase in potential suitable habitat under mild (+1.0°C) or severe global warming (+3.7°C). However, when we consider the limited dispersal ability of these grasshoppers, all twelve species studied are predicted to suffer extreme reductions in range, with a quarter likely to go extinct due to a 96-100% reduction in suitable habitat. Alpine species are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climatic shifts, and species that have limited migratory ability will be particularly at risk of habitat loss, fragmentation and local extinction. Here we present the predicted outcomes for an endemic radiation of alpine taxa as an exemplar of the challenges that alpine species, both in New Zealand, and internationally, will face in light of anthropogenic climate change</p>

Data from: Increased annual methane uptake driven by warmer winters in an alpine meadow

<p>Pronounced non-growing season warming and changes in soil freeze-thaw (F-T) cycles can dramatically alter net methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) exchange rates between soils and the atmosphere. However, the magnitudes and drivers of warming impacts on CH<sub>4</sub> uptake in different stages of the F-T cycle are poorly understood in cold alpine ecosystems, which have been found to be a net sink of atmospheric CH<sub>4</sub>. Here, we reported a year-round ecosystem daily CH<sub>4</sub> uptake in an alpine meadow on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau after a five-year warming experiment that included a control, a low-level warming treatment (+2.4℃ at 5 cm soil depth), and a high-level warming treatment (+4.5℃ at 5 cm soil depth). We found that warming shortened the F-T cycle under the low-level warming and soils did not freeze under the high-level warming. Although both warming treatments increased the mean CH<sub>4</sub> uptake rate, only the high-level warming significantly increased annual CH<sub>4</sub> uptake compared to the control. The warming-induced stimulation of CH<sub>4</sub> uptake mainly occurred in the cold season, which was mostly during spring thaw under low-level warming and during the frozen winter under high-level warming due to a longer period with thawed soil. We also found that warming significantly stimulated daily CH<sub>4</sub> uptake mainly by reducing near-surface soil water content in the warm season, whereas both soil water content and temperature controlled daily CH<sub>4</sub> uptake in different ways during the autumn freeze, frozen winter, and spring thaw periods of the control. Our study revealed a strong warming effect on CH<sub>4</sub> uptake during the entire F-T cycle in the alpine meadow, especially the unfrozen winter. Our results also suggested the important roles of soil pH, available phosphorus, and methanotroph abundance in regulating annual CH<sub>4</sub> uptake in response to warming, which should be incorporated into biogeochemical models for accurately forecasting CH<sub>4</sub> fluxes under future climate scenarios.</p>

Distances, climatic differences, and vegetation similarities of alpine grasslands in Europe

<p>The importance of environmental difference among sites and dispersal limitations of species to the explanation of diversity differs among biological systems and geographical regions. We hypothesized that climate and then dispersal limitation will predominantly explain the similarity of alpine vegetation at increasing distances between pairs of regions at sub-continental extent. We computed the similarity of all pairs of 23 European mountain regions below 50°N after dividing the species lists of each region by calcareous or siliceous substrates. Distance decay in similarity was better fitted by a cubic polynomial than a negative exponential function, and the fit was better on calcareous than on siliceous substrate. Commonality analysis revealed that the proportion of explanation of beta diversity by climatic difference had unimodal patterns on a gradient of increasing distance between regions, while explanation by dispersal limitation had consistently rising patterns on both substrates. On siliceous substrate, dispersal limitation explained more of the variation in beta-diversity only at longer distances, but it was predominant at all distances on calcareous substrate. The steeper response to distance at &lt;1600 km and &gt;2600 km may indicate dispersal limitation at different temporal scales, and the uptick in the response to distance at the longest distances may reflect how isolated some regions have been before and since the Last Glacial Maximum.</p>

Coping with seasonality: dynamics of adult body mass and survival in an alpine hibernator

<p><span>Alpine mammals are highly vulnerable to current and projected climate change because they are confined to a certain elevation range. Physiological and behavioural adaptations in burrowing species, such as finding shelter in burrows when the summer conditions are unfavorable and hibernating in winter during the stressful period of resource shortage, could partly buffer the negative impacts of these forecasted changes. We studied the links between environmental factors and annual variations in adult mass and survival over 14 years in hoary marmots. We hypothesized that annual variation in seasonal environmental factors determines individual mass and survival through direct effects on food quality and availability, expecting greater survival when marmots reach higher mass before hibernation. We found that harsh winters decreased mass at emergence from hibernation by 47% compared with mild winters. Nonetheless, adult marmots had a greater mass gain in summers following harsh winters and reached a similar mass at the end of the summer compared with summers following mild winters. This result suggests individuals can adopt a resource allocation strategy that allows maximizing summer mass gain to survive hibernation. Earlier springs also increased summer mass gain by 15 g/day, and tended to increase apparent adult survival by 23%, compared with late springs. While these findings suggest a warming climate could have positive effects on summer mass gain and survival, survival also tended to decrease by 24% in summers with more precipitation. This result suggests the forecasted changes in precipitation extremes could also trigger considerable</span><span> </span><span>negative effects on the demography of burrowing species in the long term. Our study shows</span><span> </span><span>that, although burrowing and hibernating behaviours could buffer responses to</span><span> </span><span>environmental changes, these behaviours are not an indefectible shield against climate</span><span> </span><span>change.</span></p>

Data from: Seasonal and functional variation in the trophic base of intermittent Alpine streams

<p>In high-altitude Alpine streams, seasonal cycles of snowmelt, glacial melt, and rainfall drive variation in the availability of algal food resources. Yet high-altitude streams also exhibit varying degrees of flow intermittency, from solely winter-drying streams to others that dry periodically throughout summer and autumn. These environmental drivers may interact in different ways to determine the functional trophic base of macroinvertebrates inhabiting high-altitude streams. Here, we estimated the proportional contribution of autochthonous resources to the assimilated diets of benthic macroinvertebrates in 26 headwater streams of Val Roseg, a high Alpine glacial catchment, using stable isotope analysis (<i>δ</i><sup>13</sup>C and <i>δ</i><sup>15</sup>N) of different macroinvertebrate families and their potential food sources. We compared dietary estimates along a gradient of flow intermittency and across 3 seasons (Alpine spring, summer and autumn). Assimilation from autochthonous sources was highest for collector-gatherers and filter feeders in spring, and for grazers in summer. Grazers had higher estimated assimilation from autochthonous sources in intermittent streams than in perennial streams, particularly in summer, while collector-gatherers showed little effect of flow intermittency on dietary estimates. However, responses were highly taxon-specific, with different responses to variation in flow intermittency and season across families within functional groups. Our results suggest that frequent summer drying events represent trade-offs between greater access to algal food resources and a higher risk of desiccation, but that differing life-history and functional feeding traits across macroinvertebrate taxa drive marked variation in the risks or benefits associated with inhabitants of drying streams.</p>

Why flowers close at noon? A case study of an alpine species Gentianopsis paludosa (Gentianaceae)

<p>This dataset contains data from a field experiments described in the paper: "Hou, Q., Zhao, X., Pang, X., Duan, M., Ehmet, N., Shao, W., &amp; Sun, K. (2022). Why flowers close at noon? A case study of an alpine species Gentianopsis paludosa (Gentianaceae). Ecology and Evolution, 12, e8490. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.8490".</p> <p>The experiment investigates the effects of temperature (T), relative humidity (RH), and illumination intensity (II) on <i>G. paludosa</i>'s flower closure, and monitored the environmental changes inside and outside of the flowers, aiming to test the effect of floral closure on the stability of microenvironment inside the flower. Finally, the temporal petal closure is artificially interrupted and investigated its effects on reproductive fitness.</p> <p>In the first experiment, the floral movements of <i>G. paludosa</i> and microenvironmental climate conditions were monitored in the full bloom stage in the field.</p> <p>In the second experiment, to tested whether changed environmental conditions could influence floral movement, and, which environmental factors could influence floral movement, the following experiments were carried out. Firstly, to test whether changed ambient conditions would stimulate closing or re-opening respectively, conducted the following 9 treatments from then on, and recorded the corolla width per half-hour: (1) closing T; (2) opening T; (3) blooming T; (4) closing II; (5) opening II; (6) blooming II; (7) closing RH; (8) opening RH; (9) blooming RH. Secondly, the following treatments were conducted to explore whether changed environmental conditions would delay the floral closure: (1) blooming T; (2) blooming II; (3) blooming RH. Thirdly, the 2-factor-combined treatments on full-blooming period and closed period flowers were conducted to test the effect of 2-factor-combined on flower closure.</p> <p>In the third experiment, the temperature and relative humidity inside and outside the flower were tested to explore whether floral closure provide a stable microenvironment condition inside the flower.</p> <p>In the fourth experiment, the effect of floral closure on seed production was tested in the field. 4 treatments were conducted when flowers opened: (1) compulsive openness; (2) forced closure; (3) delayed closure; (4) control group.</p> <p>Main results of the experiments are that (1) high/low temperature contributed more to the flower closure than low RH, while illumination intensity had no significant effect on it; (2) the medium temperature, relative humidity and illumination intensity (environmental conditions at 10:00) did not delay flower closure when flowers at pre-closing period or stimulate reopen when flowers full closed; (3) floral closure provided a stable temperature condition and a higher RH condition inside the flower.; (4) compulsive opening and delayed closure of flowers decreased the seed-set ratio while no effect was found when flowers were forced to close..</p>

Absorptive roots drive a larger microbial carbon pump efficacy than transport roots in alpine coniferous forests

<p>Root activity creates a unique microbial hotspot in the rhizosphere and profoundly regulates soil carbon (C) dynamics, but empirical assessments of the soil microbial carbon pump (MCP, the iterative accumulation of necromass after microbial anabolism) and associated ecological consequences on soil C storage based on insight of the rhizosphere are still neglected, especially for different root functional modules.</p> <p>We assessed the soil MCP efficacy (i.e., the contribution of microbial necromass to SOC) by investigating the divergent contribution of microbial necromass based on amino sugar extrapolations to soil organic C (SOC) in the rhizosphere of two root functional modules (i.e., absorptive roots and transport roots) and the bulk soil in an alpine coniferous forest.</p> <p>The results showed that the MCP efficacy in both rhizosphere and bulk soil was more than 50%, suggesting that microbial necromass plays a key role in SOC formation. More importantly, absorptive roots drove a greater MCP efficacy (56%) in the rhizosphere than transport roots (51%).</p> <p><em>Synthesis</em>. These observations suggest that the microbial necromass is a major contributor to SOC storage in both rhizosphere and bulk soil in alpine coniferous forests. The magnitude of the contribution of microbial necromass to rhizosphere SOC depends on root functional differentiation. Our study provides novel and direct empirical evidence for the active soil MCP functions in SOC sequestration from the perspective of the rhizosphere.</p>

Original data of diatom communities in two alpine lakes of eastern China

<p>This study explored ecological responses of Erye and Sanye lakes to climate change and atmospheric deposition based on multi-proxy sedimentary records in the Taibai Mountain (eastern China). Diatom communities of the two study lakes shifted from large-sized benthic taxa to small fragilariod species after the mid-20th century, synchronous with an increase in diatom production and a decrease in mean length of diatom valves. Changes in diatom communities were significantly correlated with nitrogen deposition in both lakes and climate warming in the upstream lake. </p>
