Increases in thermophilus plants in an arid alpine community in response to experimental warming
Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2019 A warming climate has been shown to drive thermophilization—shifts in species abundance toward those adapted to warm and dry conditions. The community dynamics shaping this process have been proposed to vary between temperature-limited alpine plant ...
