Global glacier mass loss has accelerated, producing more and larger glacial lakes. Many of
these glacial lakes are a source of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), which pose threats …

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 …

Glaciers are considered secondary sources of pollutants, including radioisotopes such as
Cesium or Plutonium, with heightened concentrations compared to other ecosystems. The …

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

The mechanisms underlying plant succession remain highly debated. Due to the local scope
of most studies, we lack a global quantification of the relative importance of species addition …

Glacier forefields have long provided ecologists with a model to study patterns of plant
succession following glacier retreat. While plant-survey-based approaches applied along …

Abstract On July 3, 2022, at 13: 43: 20 CEST (11: 43: 20 UTC), a mass of about 64,000 t of
water, ice, and rock debris broke off from the Marmolada Glacier in the Dolomites …

Protists are major actors of soil communities and play key roles in sha** food webs,
community assembly, and ecosystem processes, yet their functional diversity is …

Climate warming has accelerated the retreat of mountain glaciers worldwide, exposing new
areas to weathering, vegetation colonization, and soil formation. In light of probable climate …

The fast retreat of the tropical Andean glaciers (TAGs) is considered an important indicator of
climate change impact on the tropics, since the TAGs provide resources to highly vulnerable …
