Species-specific responses of an alpine plant community under simulated environmental change (2008, background): “Resampling of previously recorded mountain slopes have shown upward migration of plants and increased diversity at high altitudes during the last century (Grabherr et al. 1994; Klanderud & Birks 2003).”
How does climate warming affect plant-pollinator interactions? (2009, background): “In Norway, alpine vascular plants have shown altitudinal expansions and increases in abundance and diversity during the last century (e.g., Klanderud & Birks 2003).”
Going against the flow: potential mechanisms for unexpected downslope range shifts in a warming climate (2010, background): “…et al. 2005, Wilson et al. 2005, Franco et al. 2006, Hickling et al. 2006, Moritz et al. 2008, Raxworthy et al. 2008, Chen et al. 2009) and plants (Klanderud and Birks 2003, Walther et al. 2005, Pauli et al. 2007, Kelly and Goulden 2008, Lenoir et al. 2008, Parolo and Rossi 2008, Vittoz et al.…”
Changes to the elevational limits and extent of species ranges associated with climate change. (2005, background): “…taxa, and their consequent inability to colonize new areas as the climate warms (Grabherr et al. 1994; Pounds et al. 1999; Midgley et al. 2002; Klanderud & Birks 2003; Konvicka et al. 2003; Williams et al. 2003), the results forewarn of widespread extinctions unless climate change and habitat…”
A weak upward elevational shift in the distributions of breeding birds in the Italian Alps (2009, background): “…have demonstrated the impact of recent climate warming on the distributions of specific groups of plants (Grabherr et al., 1994; Pauli et al., 2001; Klanderud & Birks, 2003; Lesica & McCune, 2004; Sturm et al., 2005; Walther et al., 2005; Beckage et al., 2008; Lenoir et al., 2008), invertebrates,…”
Orchid species richness along Himalayan elevational gradients (2011, background): “The identification of elevational zones with high numbers of endemic species is valuable for strategic conservation plans in the light of land-use pressures and climate change (Körner, 2000; Klanderud & Birks, 2003).”
Rapid range expansion and community reorganization in response to warming (2008, background): “…expansion in response to current warming (Shoo et al., 2006), although these show a relatively consistent pattern of upslope range expansion by species to cooler elevations (e.g. Kullman, 2002; Klanderud & Birks, 2003; Konvicka et al., 2003; Wilson et al., 2005; although see also Archaux, 2004).”
Elevation gradient of successful plant traits for colonizing alpine summits under climate change (2013, background): “Indeed, up to now, such a retreat has rarely been observed, and only with highly resolved data (m2 scale or abundance data instead of presence/absence; Pauli et al 2007; Klanderud and Birks 2003).”
Rapid altitudinal migration of mountain plants in Taiwan and its implications for high altitude biodiversity (2012, background): “Given that plant diversity decreases with increasing elevation, upward shifts in the distribution of species are likely to lead to increased biodiversity at higher altitudes (Grabherr et al. 1994, Klanderud and Birks 2003, Walther et al. 2005, Pauli et al. 2007).”
