Rapid climatic changes and increasing human influence at high elevations around the world
will have profound impacts on mountain biodiversity. However, forecasts from statistical …

Upward shifts of mountain vegetation lag behind rates of climate warming, partly related to
interconnected changes belowground. Here, we unravel above-and belowground linkages …

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 …

Increasing aridity is known to influence the diversity and function of soil microbiome.
However, how it affects the microbial co-occurrence network are poorly understood …

Agriculture and the exploitation of natural resources have transformed tropical mountain
ecosystems across the world, and the consequences of these transformations for …

Mountain ranges contain high concentrations of endemic species and are indispensable
refugia for lowland species that are facing anthropogenic climate change,. Forecasting …

Alt'itudinal gradients strongly affect plant biodiversity, but the effects on microbial patterns
remain unclear, especially in the large scale. We therefore designed an altitudinal gradient …

Climate change induced shifts in treeline position, both towards higher altitudes and
latitudes induce changes in soil organic matter. Eventually, soil organic matter is transported …

Treelines advance due to climate warming. The impacts of this vegetation shift on plant–soil
nutrient cycling are still uncertain, yet highly relevant as nutrient availability stimulates tree …

Tundra ecosystems are global belowground sinks for atmospheric CO2. Ongoing warming‐
induced encroachment by shrubs and trees risks turning this sink into a CO2 source …
