Local trampling disturbance effects on alpine plant populations and communities: Negative implications for climate change vulnerability
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4276
Abstract: Abstract Global change is modifying species communities from local to landscape scales, with alterations in the abiotic and biotic determinants of geographic range limits causing species range shifts along both latitudinal and elevational gradients. An… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4602
Abstract: Abstract As global climate change leads to warmer and dryer conditions in the central Andes, alpine plant communities are forced to upward displacements following their climatic niche. Species range shifts are predicted to have major… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2639
Abstract: Population-wide outcomes such as abundance, reproductive output, or mean survival can be stabilized by non-synchronous variation in the performance of individuals or subpopulations. Such "portfolio effects" have been increasingly documented at the scale of subpopulations… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.132315
Abstract: The range of metals used for industrial purposes - electrical engineering, solar panels, batteries - has increased substantially over the last twenty years. Some of these emerging metals are the subject of geopolitical conflict and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/24694452.2016.1218267
Abstract: Alpine plant communities vary, and their environmental covariates could influence their response to climate change. A single multilevel model of how alpine plant community composition is determined by hierarchical relations is compared to a separate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.14060
Abstract: Global change is altering patterns of community assembly, with net outcomes dependent on species' responses to the abiotic environment, both directly and mediated through biotic interactions. Here, we assess alpine plant community responses in a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.16682
Abstract: Alpine plant-pollinator communities play an important role in the functioning of alpine ecosystems, which are highly threatened by climate change. However, we still have a poor understanding of how environmental factors and spatio-temporal variability shape… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.12754
Abstract: Triosteum pinnatifidum Maxim., an alpine plant, is traditionally used for several medicinal purposes. Here, both chloroplast DNA sequences and nuclear low copy sequence markers were used to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of… read more here.
