DOI: 10.1007/s10530-017-1479-0
Abstract: Understanding how invasive species flourish under climatic conditions outside those found within their native range can inform management. In southeastern Australia, cane toads (Rhinella marina) are spreading into montane areas cooler than have been predicted… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12275-019-8359-5
Abstract: Various Nostoc spp. and related cyanobacteria are able to survive extreme temperatures and are among the most successful colonists of high-elevation sites being exposed due to glacial retreat. It is unclear, however, if cyanobacteria can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.agrformet.2020.108105
Abstract: Abstract Restoration of abandoned, high-elevation pastures is needed across many ecosystems. Diverse abiotic and biotic stressors often limit establishment of native trees species, however, justifying the need for novel approaches to alleviate such stressors. Freezing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118869
Abstract: Abstract High-elevation Quercus rubra forests in the Appalachian Mountains represent a transition zone between temperate mixed-Quercus forests that dominate lower elevations ( 1530 m) elevations. Little information exists specific to the response to disturbance, including timber… read more here.
