Soil nutrient content dominates short-term vegetation changes in alpine tundra of Changbai Mountains
Frontiers in MicrobiologyAlpine tundra, covering 3% of the Earth’s land surface, harbors approximately 4% of higher plant species. Changes in this vegetation significantly impact biodiversity and ecosystem services.

Ecography, EarlyView.Over the past decades, Arctic and alpine biomes have warmed faster than the global average. Substantial vegetation changes have been reported as a response to this warming, including increased productivity and the spread of warm‐adapted (thermophilic) species that are less resistant to grazing pressure into higher latitudes and altitudes.

Microclimate mediates the strength and direction of avian biotic interactions
Ecography, EarlyView.Theory predicts that the strength and direction of species interactions can shift from being competitive in benign environments toward being facilitative in stressful environments. However, the environmental context dependency of species interactions has rarely been tested in animal communities.

Vegetation of the Alpine and Nival Belts
, 2017 This chapter describes the ecology of the alpine and nival vegetation of Central Europe. This chapter addresses a broad range of topics including the history and composition of the flora of the Alps and Carpathian Mountains, a thorough description of high-elevation environmental conditions, a concise overview of vegetation types in the alpine and nival

The snow and the willows : the ecological responses of the alpine dwarf shrub "Salix herbacea" to climate change [PDF]
, 2014 Current changes in shrub abundance in alpine and arctic tundra ecosystems are primarily driven by warming, changes in snow cover time and shifts in biotic interactions.

The impact of climate change and wildfire on decadal alpine vegetation dynamics
, 2023 Context: Climate-induced changes of alpine vegetation diversity, cover and composition have been recorded globally, but most insights have been gleaned from field studies over small spatiotemporal scales.

Grassland Research, EarlyView.In this study, we compared two sampling approaches to assess autumn freezing resistance. Our goal was to determine whether the commonly employed cutting method, which disrupts root‐tissue connectivity, provides a valid measure of true freezing resistance.

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine ResearchAlpine summit vegetation, the highest point of species geographical distributions, is vulnerable to climate change (thermal niche contraction), and there is evidence of change in Northern Hemisphere summits. However, summits are experiencing multifaceted
