Termites are key indicator species to enhance biodiversity and playing important role as ecosystem service providers. Species is declining fast due to various anthropogenic pressures in the habitat.
Climate, not land-use, drives a recent acceleration of larch expansion at the forest-grassland ecotone in the southern French alps
This study investigates treeline shifts in the southern French Alps, showing how climate change accelerates tree establishment, reinforcing a dynamic initially triggered by historical land-use changes
Plot-scale homogenization of alpine vegetation masks loss of rare species under warming and colonization from competitive lowland species
Warming and transplant experiment in Norwegian mountain sites shows that alpine species losses due to competitive lowland colonizers are masked by a plot-scale richness increase due to homogenization.
Thermophilization and ecosystem colonization sensitivity on mountain summits in Filefjell, Norway
Vegetation resampling of 12 Filefjell mountain summits in Norway documents clear thermophilization over the last 14 years and differences in colonization sensitivity among alpine ecosystem types.
The acceleration of microclimate warming and its implications for species redistributions.
Microclimatic warming can exceed macroclimatic trends, posing risks to biodiversity. This talk explores global microclimate data, modeling trends, species redistributions, and conservation strategies,
Third Pole Archives: Dendroclimatic Potential of Unexplored High-Altitude Alpine Flora in a Changing Climate
This study investigates high-altitude shrubs from the Third Pole–Himalaya, emphasizing their dendroclimatic potential and insights into climate change impacts on sensitive mountain ecosystems.
Aphid Infestations in High-Altitude Himalayan Flora: Wood Anatomical Signatures and Climate Change Impacts
This study analyzes wood anatomy of high-altitude Himalayan flora, documenting aphid infestations up to 3,400 m a.s.l. and identifying shrub age as the key factor influencing severity.
