Glaciers are retreating globally, and the resulting ice-free areas provide an experimental
system for understanding species colonization patterns, community formation, and …

Glacier shrinkage and the development of post-glacial ecosystems related to anthropogenic
climate change are some of the fastest ongoing ecosystem shifts, with marked ecological …

Alpine glaciers worldwide will lose most of their volume by the end of the 21st century,
placing alpine ecosystems and human populations at risk. The new lands that emerge from …

The global retreat of glaciers is dramatically altering mountain and high-latitude landscapes,
with new ecosystems develo** from apparently barren substrates,,–. The study of these …

Glacier-retreated areas are ideal areas to study soil biogeochemical processes during
vegetation succession, because of the limited effect of other environmental and climatic …

Worldwide, mountain glaciers are shrinking rapidly. Consequently, large areas are
becoming available for the development of novel alpine ecosystems. These harsh …

Retreating glaciers, icons of climate change, release new potential habitats for both aquatic
and terrestrial organisms. High‐elevation species are threatened by temperature increases …

The worldwide retreat of glaciers is causing a faster than ever increase in ice‐free areas that
are leading to the emergence of new ecosystems. Understanding the dynamics of these …

Landscapes nearby glaciers are disproportionally affected by climate change, but we lack
detailed information on microclimate variations that can modulate the impacts of global …

A central question in carbon research is how stabilization mechanisms in soil change over
time with soil development and how this is reflected in qualitative changes of soil organic …
