Modeling Subalpine and Upper Montane Forest-Climate Interactions in Colorado: A Comparative Study Using GIS
TL;DR: The correlation of the distribution of five subalpine and montane tree species with precipitation and temperature were modeled using GIS and suggestions are made to improve the predictive power of GIS analysis for mapping climate and plant variability.

Microclimate characteristics of alpine bluff ecosystems of New Zealand's South Island, and implications for plant growth
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe microclimate characteristics, including photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), atmospheric vapour pressure deficit, and air (T air) and soil temperature (Tsoil) for three shaded alpine bluff sites at 1370-1800 m altitude on the South Island of New Zealand that support a diverse flora, including obligate shaded-bluff species of Pachycladon (Brassicaceae).
The role of snow/ice cover in the formation of a local Himalayan circulation
TL;DR: In this article, the role of snow/ice cover in the formation of the local diurnal wind in the Himalayas was investigated and it was shown that the wind system is composed of both glacier winds driven by the snow and classical mountain-valley winds.
