Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2023
Community‐based conservation, despite being more inclusive than fortress conservation, has been criticized for being a top‐down implementation of external ideas brought to local communities for conservation's benefit.

Climate warming promotes growth in Himalayan alpine cushion plants but threatens survival through increased extreme snowfall. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Climate warming stimulates growth and reproduction in cold‐adapted plants but also leads to extreme weather events that may hinder their performance. We examined these predictions in the cold‐arid Himalayan subnival zone at 5900 m, where unprecedented warming and extreme snowfalls occurred over the past three decades.

Integrating morphological, anatomical, and physiological traits to explain elevational distributions in Himalayan steppe and alpine plants. [PDF]

J Integr Plant Biol
Functional trait syndromes predict plant elevational optima across 310 Himalayan species. In alpine zones, small stature, storage tissue, and high δ13C/fructan drive cold adaptation; in steppe, height and clonality reflect drought and competition. Trait‐based models explain 61% of alpine optima, offering predictive power under climate change.
