Integrating ensemble species distribution modelling and statistical phylogeography to inform projections of climate change impacts on species distributions (2013, background): “Alpine species, with distributions defined by steep climatic gradients, are being disproportionately impacted by these changes (Nogués-Bravo et al. 2007; Lenoir et al. 2008; Engler et al. 2009; Dirnbock et al. 2011).”
The silent extinction: climate change and the potential hybridization-mediated extinction of endemic high-mountain plants (2015, background): “In fact, high-altitude species have fewer possibilities of moving upward, because the area of available habitat diminishes, the topography becomes more hostile (higher slopes), and the soil loses its ability to sustain plants, especially shrubs and trees (Benito et al. 2011; Dirnböck et al. 2011).”
