Effects of altitude and topography on species richness of vascular plants, bryophytes and lichens in alpine communities (2006, background): “The ridge has lower winter temperatures, mechanical stress of above-ground parts by wind-blown ice crystals, less reliable water supply, no nutrient inflow with seeping soil water etc., but a longer growing season (Körner 1999, Ch. 5).”
Assessing species and community functional responses to environmental gradients: which multivariate methods? (2012, background): “For example, which traits are needed for plant species to adapt to cold alpine conditions? The answer is that plants in these conditions need a low stature, often with a cushion shape, a perennial life cycle and a set of ecophysiological adaptations to copewith high light intensity (Körner 2003).”
Large scale experimental effects of three levels of sheep densities on an alpine ecosystem (2008, background): “However, many of the selected species growing in successional environments, such as the low alpine zone, may depend on grazing since this system has a history of grazing by wild herbivores as well as by livestock dating back to prehistoric times (Austrheim and Eriksson 2001, Körner 2003).”
Handbook of standardized protocols for collecting plant modularity traits (2019, background): “In seasonal climates, bud preformation happens during the season preceding sprouting (Körner, 2003).”
Environmental and developmental controls on specific leaf area are little modified by leaf allometry (2008, result): “…are consistently smaller, Cunningham, Summerhayes & Westoby 1999), others disagree (e.g. leaf size decreases in low temperature environments in a consistent manner across previous studies, Körner 1999), while for others there is no substantial specific previous information (e.g. fire frequency).”
Phenology and carbon dioxide source/sink strength of a subalpine grassland in response to an exceptionally short snow season (2013, background): “Changes in snow cover amount and duration cause also a change in nutrient supply in spring (Körner 2003).”
