Quantifying rates of climate change in mountain regions is of considerable interest, not least
because mountains are viewed as climate “hotspots” where change can anticipate or …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is also known as the “Third Pole”. Elevation dependent
warming (EDW), the phenomenon that warming rate changes systematically with elevation …

There is growing evidence that the rate of warming is amplified with elevation, such that high-
mountain environments experience more rapid changes in temperature than environments …

Climate change and human activities have already caused degradation in a large fraction of
vegetation on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau (QTP). Many studies report that climate variability …

Glaciers in the tropical Andes have been retreating for the past several decades, leading to
a temporary increase in dry season water supply downstream. Projected future glacier …

The aim of this paper is to provide the community with a comprehensive overview of the
studies of glaciers in the tropical Andes conducted in recent decades leading to the current …

Available observations suggest that some mountain regions are experiencing seasonal
warming rates that are greater than the global land average. There is also evidence from …

All currently available climate models predict a near-surface warming trend under the
influence of rising levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In addition to the direct …

As the Earth warms, many species are likely to disappear, often because of changing
disease dynamics. Here we show that a recent mass extinction associated with pathogen …
