Using thermochronology to constrain exhumation in the Swiss-Italian Alps
… six of which were in an approximate vertical, or elevation, transect. Three samples were also taken in a vertical transect from the Southern Alps, south of the Insubric Line. (U-Th)/He Zircon dates from north of the Insubric line ranged from 7 to 14 Ma, and indicate an approximate exhumation rate …

Stream profiles as a proxy for uplift in the San Bernardino Mountains
… stream profile interpretation from digital elevation models (DEMs) indicates the current/most recent uplift rates on the Yucaipa Ridge at the southern range front are only ~0.5-0.6 mm/yr, much lower than indicated by a published (U-Th)/He age-elevation transect. Also, a change in steepness …

SPATIAL VARIABILITY IN SPECIES COMPOSITION IN NEOTROPICAL MONTANE TREE COMMUNITIES
… diversity, and floristic composition across the elevational gradient and at tree line. Thirty –six 0.1–ha tree plots were installed (1) along three different elevational transects in tropical montane cloud forest (TMCF) between 1500 and 3600 m and (2) across a ∼ 40 km landscape …

The development and application of IceLake, an accurate and computationally efficient model of supraglacial lake evolution in the ablation zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet
… IceLake is applied to a 100–2200 m a.s.l. elevation transect of Upernavik Isstrøm Glacier (72.8°N) in West Greenland to investigate the dependence of lake evolution on elevation. When only basal ice melt is accounted for and no water input is included, it is found that lake depth decreases …

Elevation Effects on Key Processes of Carbon Cycling in South Ecuadorian Mountain Forests
Diese Studie über Wälder Süd-Ecuadors hat das Ziel große Wissenslücken zu füllen, den Kohlenstoffkreislauf montaner Regenwälder in einer Meereshöhe von 1000 bis 3000 m betreffend. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit wurde dabei auf den bisher unbekannten Kohlenstoffumsatz durch Feinwurzeln, Stammholzzuwachs …
