Effects of microsite conditions on seedling establishment on the foreland of Coleman Glacier, Washington
Questions: How do physical microsite conditions of microsites affect germination and seedling survival in different successional stages? Do different species germinate in similar microsites in a given successional stage? Location: Coleman Glacier foreland, Mount Baker, Washington State, USA. Methods: Two methods were used to characterize safe sites. 1. Grids of 300 10 cm × 10 cm plots were loca...
متن کاملPrimary succession of soil Crenarchaeota across a receding glacier foreland.
The development of soil archaeal community structures in relation to primary succession in bulk and rhizosphere soil was examined across the forefield of the receding Rotmoosferner glacier in Austria. Using cloning and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) products of extracted 16S rRNA, archaeal community structure w...
متن کاملMass loss on Himalayan glacier endangers water resources
[1] Ice cores drilled from glaciers around the world generally contain horizons with elevated levels of beta radioactivity including Cl and H associated with atmospheric thermonuclear bomb testing in the 1950s and 1960s. Ice cores collected in 2006 from Naimona’nyi Glacier in the Himalaya (Tibet) lack these distinctive marker horizons suggesting no net accumulation of mass (ice) since at least ...
متن کاملOribatid Mites in the Glacier Foreland at Hardangerjøkulen
The Oribatida on 3 moraines (from 1955, 1934 and 1750) near the outlet Midtdalsbreen of Hardangerjøkulen glacier (Norway) were investigated. The highest density of mites was observed on the moraine exposed in 1934 (67 years after the glaciers retreat), while the highest number of species (14) was noted on the oldest moraine (206 years after the glaciers retreat). Two species, Tectocepheus vel...
متن کاملClimate warming could increase recruitment success in glacier foreland plants.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Glacier foreland plants are highly threatened by global warming. Regeneration from seeds on deglaciated terrain will be crucial for successful migration and survival of these species, and hence a better understanding of the impacts of climate change on seedling recruitment is urgently needed to predict future plant persistence in these environments. This study presents the f...
