Why is the alpine flora comparatively robust against climatic warming?
C Körner, E Hiltbrunner - Diversity, 2021 - mdpi.com
The alpine belt hosts the treeless vegetation above the high elevation climatic treeline. The
way alpine plants manage to thrive in a climate that prevents tree growth is through small …

Direct and indirect effects of climate change on soil microbial and soil microbial‐plant interactions: What lies ahead?
Global change is altering species distributions and thus interactions among organisms.
Organisms live in concert with thousands of other species, some beneficial, some …

Range dynamics of mountain plants decrease with elevation
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 …
