Tolerance of Warmer Temperatures Does Not Confer Resilience to Heatwaves in an Alpine Herb
Climate change is generating both sustained trends in average temperatures and higher frequency and intensity of extreme events. This poses a serious threat to biodiversity, especially in vulnerable environments, like alpine systems.

Polar and alpine microbiology [PDF]
Scientists, politicians and the general public alike now share the conviction that understanding (micro)biology of polar and alpine systems is of paramount importance to many urgent questions related to global climate, shrinking of polar areas and disappearing of glaciers and other habitats, with the concomitant threat of species extinctions, such as ...

Effects of reindeer density on vascular plant diversity on North Scandinavian mountains
We studied the effects of reindeer grazing on species richness and diversity of vascular plants on dolomite influenced low alpine sites in the species rich northern part of the Scandes using 8 sites with different reindeer densities.
