The expected upward shift of trees due to climate warming is supposed to be a major threat
to range‐restricted high‐altitude species by shrinking the area of their suitable habitats. Our …

Climate change affects life at global scales and across systems but is of special concern in
areas that are disproportionately rich in biological diversity and uniqueness. Using a meta …

Quantitative estimates of the range loss of mountain plants under climate change have so far
mostly relied on static geographical projections of species' habitat shifts,,. Here, we use a …

Mountain plant species shift their elevational ranges in response to climate change.
However, to what degree these shifts lag behind current climate change, and to what extent …

Mountain ecosystems will likely be affected by global warming during the 21st century, with
substantial biodiversity loss predicted by species distribution models (SDMs). Depending on …

Continental‐scale assessments of 21st century global impacts of climate change on
biodiversity have forecasted range contractions for many species. These coarse resolution …

Mountains, with their isolated position and altitudinal belts, are hotspots of biodiversity. Their
flora and fauna have been observed worldwide since the days of Alexander von Humboldt …

Predicting whether the ranges of tropical species will shift to higher elevations in response to
climate change requires models that incorporate data on topography and land use. We …

Polewards expansions of species' distributions have been attributed to climate warming, but
evidence for climate‐driven local extinctions at warm (low latitude/elevation) boundaries is …

High mountain ecosystems are defined by low temperatures and are therefore considered to
react sensitively to climate warming. Responding to observed changes in plant species …
