DOI: 10.1007/s10530-019-02173-9
Abstract: Environmental factors change with an increase in elevation, such as increased UV-B radiation and decreased water availability, and thus may pose as barriers in upwards range expansion of plant species. Although evidence has been provided… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geoderma.2021.115210
Abstract: Abstract Disentangling responses of phoD-harboring bacteria to environmental factors in different habitats, crucial for understanding the ecosystem’s potential for organic phosphorus mineralization and plant productivity, is an important but poorly investigated subject. Using MiSeq sequencing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evz126
Abstract: The transition from living at low elevations to high elevations, such as those found in the Andes, Himalayas, and Tibetan Plateau, comes with many challenges. Extremely high elevations are associated with colder temperatures, increased exposure… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2020.00714
Abstract: Understanding why some plant lineages move from one climatic region to another is a mayor goal of evolutionary biology. In the southern Andes plant lineages that have migrated along mountain ranges tracking cold-humid climates coexist… read more here.
