Pelino,Mihai Puşcaş,Graziano Rossi,Angela Stanisci,Jean-Paul Theurillat,Marcello Tomaselli,Luis Villar,Pascal Vittoz,Ioannis N. Vogiatzakis,Georg Grabherr +31 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used 867 vegetation samples above the treeline from 60 summit sites in all major European mountain systems to show that ongoing climate change gradually transforms mountain plant communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological assembly rules in plant communities--approaches, patterns and prospects.

TL;DR: This work redefined the traditional concept of assembly rules in a more general framework where the co‐occurrence of species is a product of chance, historical patterns of speciation and migration, dispersal, abiotic environmental factors, and biotic interactions, with none of these processes being mutually exclusive.

Harald Pauli,Michael Gottfried,Stefan Dullinger,Otari Abdaladze,Maia Akhalkatsi,José Luis Benito Alonso,Gheorghe Coldea,Jan Dick,Brigitta Erschbamer,Rosa Fernández Calzado,Dany Ghosn,Jarle I.

TL;DR: Recent changes in vascular plant species richness observed in a standardized monitoring network across Europe’s major mountain ranges are presented and indicate that high-altitude species, and in particular the rich endemic alpine flora of many Mediterranean mountain ranges, will come under increasing pressure in the predicted warmer and drier climates in this region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extinction debt of high-mountain plants under twenty-first-century climate change

Zimmermann,Antoine Guisan,Wolfgang Willner,Christoph Plutzar,Michael Leitner,Michael Leitner,Thomas Mang,Marco Caccianiga,Thomas Dirnböck,Siegrun Ertl,Anton Fischer,Jonathan Lenoir,Jonathan Lenoir,Jens-Christian Svenning,Achilleas Psomas,Dirk R. Schmatz,Urban Šilc,Pascal Vittoz,Karl Hülber +22 more
TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid model was used to forecast the climate-driven spatio-temporal dynamics of 150 high-mountain plant species across the European Alps, which predicts average range size reductions of 44-50% by the end of the twenty-first century, which is similar to projections from the most optimistic static model.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present recent (2001 to 2008) changes in vascular plant species richness observed in a standardized monitoring network across Europe's major mountain ranges, showing that European mountaintop flower species richness is increasing on northern summits but decreasing on southern summits.
