Eastern Himalayan alpine plant ecology, Tibetan ethnobotany, and climate change. (2009, background): “Alpine plant diversity is higher than the global average (Körner, 1999; Väre et al., 2003).”
Relationships among levels of biodiversity and the relevance of intraspecific diversity in conservation - a project synopsis (2008, background): “Like most mountain ecosystems, the Alps and the Carpathians exhibit high species richness relative to their basal area (Väre et al., 2003), making them relevant for global biodiversity conservation (Körner, 2002).”
Ecology of Central European Non-Forest Vegetation: Coastal to Alpine, Natural to Man-Made Habitats (2017, background): “7; further overviews are given in Lindholm and Vasander 1990; Rochefort et al. 1990 and Gunnarsson 2005). Clymo and Hayward (1982) give typical figures for Sphagnum mires in Great Britain of 800 g m−2 year−1 for hollows, 500 g for lawns and 150 g for hummocks.”
