Climate change may drive cave spiders to extinction (2018, background): “Together with other species living in confined habitats such as islands (e.g., Bellard et al. 2014, Yalor and Kumar 2016) and mountain summits (e.g., Beniston 2003, Xu et al. 2009, Yoccoz et al. 2010), we expect cave adapted species to be as vulnerable, if not more so, to climate change.”
Contrasted impacts of climate change on stream fish assemblages along an environmental gradient (2009, result): “Both results are thus concordant as upstream sites are globally located in mountainous regions, which are expected to face more rapid and intense climate changes than other regions (Beniston, 2003; Schroter et al. , 2005).”
Warmer and richer? Predicting the impact of climate warming on species richness in small temperate waterbodies (2010, background): “Monitoring of terrestrial vascular plants in permanent plots in the Alps showed an increase in richness (186”
Climate change in the European Alps : adapting winter tourism and natural hazards management (2007, background): “At the global level, 30 to 50% of actual glaciers could disappear by 2100 given a warming of 2 to 4 °C (Beniston, 2003).”
The Melting Himalayas: Cascading Effects of Climate Change on Water, Biodiversity, and Livelihoods (2009, background): “Climate-change impacts are already occurring in the Greater Himalayas (Beniston 2003; Cruz et al. 2007).”
Trends in temperature and rainfall extremes in the Yellow River source region, China (2011, background): “Located in mountainous areas, the study region is expected to be sensitive to global climate change since mountains in many parts of the world are very sensitive and susceptible to a changing climate in view of their complex orography and fragile ecosystem (Beniston et al. 1997; Beniston 2003).”
Part II (2004, background): “2000)(37), whereas a 4°C increase could reduce the snow amount up to 90% at 1000 m and 30-40% at 3,000 m altitude (Beniston 2003)(38).”
Impacts of climatic change on water and associated economic activities in the Swiss Alps (2012, background): “Furthermore, snow is intimately linked to winter tourism, which numerous mountain resorts depend upon for a substantial part of their income (Abegg and Froesch, 1994; Beniston, 2003).”
Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, neutral): “Furthermore, a general reduction in the duration of snow cover will be caused by warmer temperatures, because the zerodegree isotherm will be displaced to higher altitudes (Beniston, 2003; Laghari et al., 2012).”
Recent precipitation trends, flash floods and landslides in southern Brazil (2016, background): “Mountainous areas have different characteristics (e.g., shape, extension, altitude, and vegetation cover), and vary greatly among climate regimes both spatially and temporally (Beniston 2003, Kohler and Maselli 2009, Skansi et al 2013, Tramblay et al 2013, Stephenson et al 2014, Wang and Li 2015).”
Local adaptation occurs along altitudinal gradient despite the existence of gene flow in the alpine plant species Festuca eskia (2009, background): “Journal compilation © 2009 British Ecological Society, Journal of Ecology , 97 , 742–751 (Beniston 2003).”
