DOI: 10.1007/s00704-018-2722-z
Abstract: Rapid elevation-dependent warming (EDW) in high mountain environments can accelerate the rate of change in permafrost and further induce the degradation of alpine tundra systems. However, how changes in area of alpine tundra response to… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/plants8100370
Abstract: Significant replacement of shrub species by herbaceous species has been observed in the Changbai alpine tundra zone, China, since the 1990s. This study used plot surveys to analyze variations in the spatial distribution of dominant… read more here.
