DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2018.04.034
Abstract: Abstract The role of mountains in the geological evolution of the carbon cycle has been intensively debated for the last decades. Mountains are thought to increase the local physical erosion, which in turns promotes silicate… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.842842
Abstract: Polyploidization is one of the most common speciation mechanisms in plants. This is particularly relevant in high mountain environments and/or in areas heavily affected by climatic oscillations. Although the role of polyploidy and the temporal… read more here.
