TL;DR: It is concluded that the distribution and abundance of many species in high-elevation communities of the western Alps appears to be enhanced by neighbors, and that species continua commonly observed along environmental gradients are the result of both negative and positive plant interactions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the impacts of climate change on 2632 plant species across all major European mountain ranges, using high-resolution (ca. 100 m) species samples and data expressing four future climate scenarios.

TL;DR: How the complementarity between the fourth-corner and RLQ methods can be exploited to promote new ecological knowledge and to improve the study of trait-environment relationships is illustrated.

TL;DR: An approach based on DNA metabarcoding used on lake sediments to provide the first high-resolution reconstruction of plant cover and livestock farming history since the Neolithic Period shows that the most intense erosion period was caused by deforestation and overgrazing by sheep and cowherds during the Late Iron Age and Roman Period.
