Abstract:
The mountainous forest and biodiversity ecological functional area of the Nanling Mountain forest ecosystem is one of the 25 key ecological functional areas in China, covering a variety of forest vegetation types, including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, coniferous broad-leaved evergreen mixed forest, and mountain top evergreen broad-leaved dwarf forest. The tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests are the most typical vegetation type in the Nanling Mountains. Monitoring the meteorological elements in the community can help understand the response mechanism of the tr

Abstract:
Forests have been widely recognized as key habitats for odonate (dragonflies and damselflies) biodiversity, but the importance of forests for holding odonate biodiversity remains understudied in tropical mountains, one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. Here we described the odonate assemblage composition along the elevation gradient in the Tatamá Mountains (Colombian Cordillera Occidental). We analyzed the effects of elevation, habitat, and suborder on species richness and endemism. We found that the richest assemblage occurred in the foothills between 300 and 600 m, where the biot

Abstract. Absent glacial erosion, mountain range height is limited by the rate of bedrock river incision and is thought to asymptote to a steady-state elevation as erosion and rock uplift rates converge. For glaciated mountains, there is evidence that range height is limited by glacial erosion rates, which vary cyclically with glaciations. The strongest evidence for glacial limitation is at midlatitudes, where range-scale hypsometric maxima (modal elevations) lie within the bounds of Late Pleistocene snow line variation. In the tropics, where mountain glaciation is sparse, range elevation is g

Soil nutrients are an important component of forest ecosystems, an important carrier for maintaining the survival and development of animals and plants, and a foundation for normal plant growth. They play an important role in soil nutrient cycling and global climate change. Located in the core area of the southern hilly and mountainous area in the national ecological security strategic pattern of "two screens and three belts", Nanling Mountains are an important ecological barrier in Southern China.

Abstract:
Mountains contribute disproportionately to the terrestrial biodiversity of Earth, especially in the tropics, where they host hotspots of extraordinary and puzzling richness. With about 25% of all land area, mountain regions are home to more than 85% of the world’s species of amphibians, birds, and mammals, many entirely restricted to mountains. Biodiversity varies markedly among these regions. Together with the extreme species richness of some tropical mountains, this variation has proven challenging to explain under traditional climatic hypotheses.

Numerical simulations using the Penn State University/NCAR MM4 model are performed to examine a stably stratified, zonal easterly flow past large scale three-dimensional mountain ranges in a rotating, initially barotropic, atmosphere. Upstream blocking by the mountain range diverts the flow primarily to the south and around the mountain. Conservation of potential vorticity results in the formation of a horizontal jet at low levels south of the mountain. This jet is barotropically unstable and leads to a continuous production of synoptic scale vorticity maxima which separate from the mountain a

Temperature is likely to be one of the most important abiotic factors given how it affects the physiology of the whole organism and as a consequence, it has an essential role in ecology and evolution. However, how the geographical (and temporal) variation of temperature is related to physiology still raises many questions. Several macrophysiological hypotheses have been proposed to explain the variation patterns of thermal physiological parameters across ecological gradients. Among them, Janzen’s (1967) 'seasonality’ hypothesis is probably one of the most relevant as it has awakened a great in

The OCENSA pipeline system is exposed to different geotechnical problems, including faults, landslides and/or creeping slopes. These problems are typical of the Andes Mountains, especially in tropical countries like Colombia.

In this paper, a methodology to evaluate the pipe response under soil displacements in slow landslides is proposed. This methodology consists of
