Islands have increased potential to integrate renewable energy sources (RES) into their
energy systems and shift towards sustainable decarbonization. The intermittent electricity …

This review summarizes current understanding of drivers for change and of the impact of
accelerating global changes on mountains, encompassing effects of climate change and …

Anthropogenic planetary heating is disrupting global alpine systems, but our ability to
empirically measure and predict responses in alpine species distributions is impaired by a …

Islands host unique biodiversity that faces threats from global change. Understanding plant
reproduction is vital to conserve and restore island ecosystems, in turn ensuring stable …

Little is known about the seed ecology of native plants from subalpine and alpine vegetation
zones on oceanic islands, although their biodiversity is unique and vulnerable (eg facing …

Plant invasions are impacting alpine zones, altering key mutualisms that affect ecosystem
functions. Plant–mycorrhizal associations are sensitive to invasion, but previous studies …

Vegetation plays a dominant role in and serves as the structural foundation of island-land
ecosystems. Island cities, as sea-land ecological complexes, are able to somewhat reflect …

Human activities have rapidly increased atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gasses
such as carbon dioxide, which drives global climate warming. Alpine ecosystems, like other …

Islands harbor a significant part of global biodiversity owing to their high level of species
endemism, and they are also highly vulnerable to global change threats. Understanding …
