Climate and biotic interactions – drivers of plant community structure and ecosystem functioning in alpine grasslands

The species that responded the most to simulated climate warming in OTCs plots was Carex capillaris, which showed, in addition to the height, a significant increase

To study drivers of alpine plant seedling recruitment, we set up a field experiment where we manipulated the opportunity for plant–plant interactions through vegetation removal

Science and policy as two worlds – examples from climate change literatures In the literature on science-policy interactions in regard to climate change, we find many studies
