Early Spring Snowmelt and Summer Droughts Strongly Impair the Resilience of Key Microbial Communities in Subalpine Grassland Ecosystems

This study examines how early snowmelt and summer droughts affect microbial communities in subalpine grasslands, finding that droughts reduce denitrifier abundance and activity while nitrifiers show partial recovery.

Studies of NH4+ and NO3- uptake ability of subalpine plants and resource-use strategy identified by their functional traits.

This study examines the relationship between leaf and root traits in subalpine plants and their ability to uptake NH4+ and NO3-, finding that root traits influence whole-plant economics and that NH4+ uptake is preferred over NO3-.
