Stay or go – how topographic complexity influences alpine plant population and community responses to climate change (2017, background): “However, for mechanistic understanding of what is driving these correlations we need to go beyond mean temperatures (Körner et al., 2016) and assess the importance of this topographically-driven heterogeneity in temperature conditions near the ground and its consequences for alpine plant distributio”
Increase in the risk of exposure of forest and fruit trees to spring frosts at higher elevations in Switzerland over the last four decades (2018, background): “This is why late spring frost events are climatic extremes with high ecological and evolutionary importance, likely controlling the latitudinal and elevational limits of temperate trees (Kollas et al., 2014; Körner et al., 2016).”
Warmer winters reduce the advance of tree spring phenology induced by warmer springs in the Alps (2018, background): “More generally, phenology has been shown to control species range limits at a global scale (Chuine & Beaubien 2001; Chuine, 2010) and along elevational gradients in mountain regions (Körner et al., 2016).”
