Although primarily studied through the lens of community ecology, phenomena consistent
with priority effects appear to be widespread across many different scenarios spanning a …

The development of terrestrial ecosystems depends greatly on plant mutualists such as
mycorrhizal fungi. The global retreat of glaciers exposes nutrient‐poor substrates in extreme …

New soils formed after glacier retreat can provide insights into the rates of soil formation in
the context of accelerated warming due to climate change. Recently deglacierized terrains …

Climate warming has accelerated the retreat of mountain glaciers worldwide, exposing new
areas to weathering, vegetation colonization, and soil formation. In light of probable climate …

The mechanisms underlying plant succession remain highly debated. Due to the local scope
of most studies, we lack a global quantification of the relative importance of species addition …

Melting glaciers give a unique possibility to study how life colonizes newly exposed ground.
Research during the last two decades has shown that arthropods play a key role in …

We report, in 15 Ecuadorian mountainous lakes, dissolved concentrations of CO2, CH4, and
N2O and a suite of ancillary biogeochemical variables (dissolved inorganic nutrients …

We present a new map of bed topography and ice thickness together with a corresponding
ice volume estimate representative of the years~ 2010 for all Scandinavian ice caps and …

The abundance of remote sensing imagery available has been extensively used for
mapping snow cover extent in mountainous regions. However, previous studies have paid …

Abstract Knowledge about biodiversity changes during transitions from glacial landscape to
lake formation is limited to contemporary studies. Here, we combined analyses of lithology …
