TL;DR: Recent changes in vascular plant species richness observed in a standardized monitoring network across Europe’s major mountain ranges are presented and indicate that high-altitude species, and in particular the rich endemic alpine flora of many Mediterranean mountain ranges, will come under increasing pressure in the predicted warmer and drier climates in this region.

TL;DR: Biome-wide relationships between temperature, moisture and seven key plant functional traits across the tundra and over time show that community height increased with warming across all sites, whereas other traits lagged behind predicted rates of change.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present recent (2001 to 2008) changes in vascular plant species richness observed in a standardized monitoring network across Europe's major mountain ranges, showing that European mountaintop flower species richness is increasing on northern summits but decreasing on southern summits.

TL;DR: In this article, the potential litter decomposition was investigated by using standardized substrates (Rooibos and Green tea) for comparison of litter mass loss at 336 sites (ranging from
