The cryosphere in mountain regions is rapidly declining, a trend that is expected to
accelerate over the next several decades due to anthropogenic climate change. A cascade …

Rapid climatic changes and increasing human influence at high elevations around the world
will have profound impacts on mountain biodiversity. However, forecasts from statistical …

High-elevation trees cannot always reach the thermal treeline, the potential upper range
limit set by growing-season temperature. But delineation of the realized upper range limit of …

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 …

Although habitat fragmentation is often assumed to be a primary driver of extinction, global
patterns of fragmentation and its relationship to extinction risk have not been consistently …

Many studies report that mountain plant species are shifting upward in elevation. However,
the majority of these reports focus on shifts of upper limits. Here, we expand the focus and …

Climate change is causing extensive alterations to ecosystems globally, with some more
vulnerable than others. Alpine ecosystems, characterised by low-temperatures and …

Plants are exposed to heterogeneity in the environment where new stress factors (ie, climate
change, land use change, and invasiveness) are introduced, and where inter‐and …

Climate impact studies have indicated ecological fingerprints of recent global warming
across a wide range of habitats,. Although these studies have shown responses from …

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 …
