Abstract | Mountain ecosystems provide water resources to nearly half of the world’s human population, with approximately 20% of humans living in or near mountain areas As a result of their high biological diversity, uniquely adapted species, and the ease with which water and solid material can move through these systems, alpine habitats are hypothesized to be sensitive to perturbation and climate change (Nagy and Grabherr, 2009), potentially showing signs of change before other terrestrial ecosystems. Furthermore, the importance of climatic factors over biotic ones in alpine areas suggests that the impacts of climate change on alpine plant communities may be more detectable than in lower elevation communities. Herein, we review the literature regarding expected climate changes in alpine ecosystems around the world and impacts on species, their distributions, and community assemblages. We also explore changes in biotic interactions, including plant-plant, plant-microbe, and plant-animal interactions. We briefly present experimental approaches used to study climate change in alpine systems and discuss the benefits and challenges of each. |
