The oldest monitoring site of the Alps revisited: accelerated increase in plant species richness on Piz Linard summit since 1835 (2013, background): “The highest vascular plant species in this area of the Alps have been found around 3500 m (e.g. Table 1), but elsewhere singular plant individuals can occur far above 4000 m a.s.l., such as in Western Switzerland (Körner 2011).”
Where, why and how? Explaining the low‐temperature range limits of temperate tree species (2016, background): “…that weather station derived data reflect what plants actually experience, which is clearly not the case in low-stature plants (Scherrer, Schmid & K€orner 2011), thus leading to rather mislead conclusions, particularly when topography is considered (Halbritter et al. 2013, see discussion in…”
