This book introduces the key stages of niche-based habitat suitability model building,
evaluation and prediction required for understanding and predicting future patterns of …

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

A key focus in ecology is to search for community assembly rules. Here we compare two
community modelling frameworks that integrate a combination of environmental and spatial …

The alpine life zone is perhaps the only biome that occurs globally where mountains are
high enough. At latitudinally varying elevation, the alpine belt hosts small stature plants that …

Aim Mountain regions are particularly well‐suited for investigating the impact of climate
change on species ranges because they encompass both upper and lower limits of species …

高山地区通常被认为是陆地上最为极端的生境之一, 但却拥有许多形态特化的植物和较高的物种
多样性. 高山植物如何在严酷的环境中实现成功繁殖, 这一问题倍受研究者们的关注 …

Local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity are two important characteristics of alpine plants
to overcome the threats caused by global changes. Among alpine species, Arabis alpina is …

Trace element pollution has emerged as an increasingly severe environmental challenge
owing to human activities, particularly in urban ecosystems. In farmlands, invasive species …

We review life-history variation along elevation in animals and plants and illustrate its
drivers, mechanisms and constraints. Elevation shapes life histories into suites of correlated …

Roadways are increasingly recognized as common points of entry for non-native species
into natural habitats in mountainous areas. Studies were conducted within the Greater …
