The cryosphere (including, snow, glaciers, permafrost, lake and river ice) is an integral
element of high mountain regions, which are home to roughly 10% of the global population …

Forest and freshwater ecosystems are tightly linked and together provide important
ecosystem services, but climate change is affecting their species composition, structure, and …

In early studies, northern vegetation response to global warming recognised both increases
in biomass/cover and shrinking of species' distributional ranges. Subsequent field …

The long‐term increase in satellite‐based proxies of vegetation cover is a well‐documented
response of seasonally snow‐covered ecosystems to climate warming. However, observed …

A central goal at the interface of ecology and conservation is understanding how the
relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem function (B–EF) will shift with changing …

Abstract In the arid Hexi Corridor of northwest China, vegetation cover plays a pivotal role in
sustaining the unique terrestrial ecosystem. In this paper, vegetation changes during growth …

In the forest‐tundra ecotone of the North Fennoscandian inland, summer and winter
temperatures have increased by two to three centigrades since 1965, which is expected to …

Mountain plant communities are thought to be sensitive to climate change and, thus, able to
reveal its effects sooner than others. The status as sentinels of two plant communities are …

The distributions of biomes worldwide are predicted to shift as vegetation tracks climate
change. Ecologists often use coarse-scale climate models to predict these shifts along broad …

Background: Long-term climate trends in mountain systems often vary strongly with
elevation. Aims: To evaluate elevation dependence in long-term precipitation trends in …
