Response of Subalpine Plant Vegetation to Snow Cover Duration Quantified by In Situ Repeat Photography
Aims
Snow plays a crucial role in the distribution of alpine plant species and the dynamics of alpine communities. However, we have only a limited understanding of the snow cover's impact on vegetation in middle-height mountains at a meso-topographic scale close to the treeline.
Location
The High Sudetes Mts., Czech Republic.
Methods
We examined the association of snow cover duration and the spatial pattern of four dominant vegetation types in the subalpine region. We used a novel approach to create maps of snow cover duration by combining time-series photographic data on snow distribution and vegetation patterns. Key explanatory factors included snow cover duration, snow melting time, elevation, and proximity to ski slopes.
Results
We found the influence of snow cover duration, which was positively correlated with subalpine tall-fern vegetation and negatively correlated with Vaccinium vegetation. However, elevation and ski slope played an important role as co-determinants. Subalpine tall grasslands showed a discernible response to snow cover in the highest part of the study area, while wind-swept grasslands were positively influenced by the body of the ski timeslope at higher altitudes.
Conclusions
The complex relationship between snow cover duration and the subalpine vegetation pattern is contingent upon the life-history characteristics of the dominant plant species and is influenced by various environmental factors. These factors encompass snow attributes, the influence of human activities, land-use patterns, and the overarching impact of climate change. Snow cover emerges as a crucial, multifaceted factor in shaping vegetation boundaries. Recognizing its complexity is imperative for effective planning of conservation measures.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Vegetation Science publishes papers on all aspects of plant community ecology, with particular emphasis on papers that develop new concepts or methods, test theory, identify general patterns, or that are otherwise likely to interest a broad international readership. Papers may focus on any aspect of vegetation science, e.g. community structure (including community assembly and plant functional types), biodiversity (including species richness and composition), spatial patterns (including plant geography and landscape ecology), temporal changes (including demography, community dynamics and palaeoecology) and processes (including ecophysiology), provided the focus is on increasing our understanding of plant communities. The Journal publishes papers on the ecology of a single species only if it plays a key role in structuring plant communities. Papers that apply ecological concepts, theories and methods to the vegetation management, conservation and restoration, and papers on vegetation survey should be directed to our associate journal, Applied Vegetation Science journal.
