Climate change effects on biodiversity, ecosystems, ecosystem services, and natural resource management in the United States
Climate change is a pervasive and growing global threat to biodiversity and ecosystems.
Here, we present the most up-to-date assessment of climate change impacts on biodiversity …

Lags in the response of mountain plant communities to climate change
Rapid climatic changes and increasing human influence at high elevations around the world
will have profound impacts on mountain biodiversity. However, forecasts from statistical …

Comparing temperature data sources for use in species distribution models: From in‐situ logging to remote sensing
Aim Although species distribution models (SDMs) traditionally link species occurrences to
free‐air temperature data at coarse spatio‐temporal resolution, the distribution of organisms …

Invasive alien plants benefit more from clonal integration in heterogeneous environments than natives
What confers invasive alien plants a competitive advantage over native plants remains open
to debate. Many of the world's worst invasive alien plants are clonal and able to share …

Climate change amplifies plant invasion hotspots in Nepal
Aim Climate change has increased the risk of biological invasions, particularly by increasing
the climatically suitable regions for invasive alien species. The distribution of many native …

Global patterns of intraspecific leaf trait responses to elevation
Elevational gradients are often used to quantify how traits of plant species respond to abiotic
and biotic environmental variations. Yet, such analyses are frequently restricted spatially …

Risks posed by invasive species to the provision of ecosystem services in Europe
Invasive species significantly impact biodiversity and ecosystem services, yet understanding
these effects at large spatial scales remains a challenge. Our study addresses this gap by …

Human disturbance and upward expansion of plants in a warming climate
Climate change is expected to trigger an upward expansion of plants in mountain regions,
and, although there is strong evidence that many native species have already shifted their …

The poleward naturalization of intracontinental alien plants
Plant introductions outside their native ranges by humans have led to substantial ecological
consequences. While we have gained considerable knowledge about intercontinental …

Hiking trails as conduits for the spread of non-native species in mountain areas
Roadsides are major pathways of plant invasions in mountain regions. However, the
increasing importance of tourism may also turn hiking trails into conduits of non-native plant …
