Climate Change in the High Andes:implications and adaptation strategies for small-scale farmers [PDF]
, 2010 : Global climate change represents a major threat to sustainable farming in the Andes. Farmers have used local ecological knowledge and intricate production systems to cope, adapt and reorganize to meet climate uncertainty and risk, which have always ...

Spatial trends of Potamogetonaceae along an altitudinal gradient
Biologia, 2020 Studying the effect of altitude on species distribution may help us to predict the response of species to future climate changes, which will likely cause upward migration of vegetation zones. In this study, we aimed to analyze distribution and abundance patterns of Potamogetonaceae along an altitudinal gradient and to determine the species ...

The Altitudinal Gradient Influence on the Parameters of the Mountain Grasslands
Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca. Agriculture, 2012 The aim of the paper is to assess the influence of the altitudinal gradient on the quality and biodiversity of grasslands in the mountainous area Muntele Mic. We studied various types of grasslands found at different altitudes as 613, 1342 and 1562 m.

Ecology of bryophytes along altitudinal and latitudinal gradients in Chile [PDF]
, 2002 The bryophyte vegetation in twenty-eight hectare plots in forests of S-Chile between 38° and 42°S and sea level and the forest line has been studied. Since bryophytes are fully dependend on atmospheric water and nutrient supply, they are good indicators ...
