An already ongoing upward shift of vascular plants at high summits in the Alps, determined by the Austrian IGBP-research [4][5][6][7][8], is most likely a response to the atmospheric warming since the 19th century. Secondly, high mountains still comprise the most natural ecosystems in many countries, being largely untouched by human settlements and agricultural influences, Therefore, climatic effects on ecosystems can be studied without masking effects from human land use. Thirdly, high mountain ranges are present in virtually every major zonobiome of the earth. The research initiative GLORIA aims to establish an urgently needed global monitoring network, by using high mountain ecosystems as sensitive indicators, as required in the “IGBP-Mountain Workplan” [9]. Moreover, a deeper understanding of assemblagemechanisms andassemblage processes in vegetation patterns as a c | 出版日期 | Book 2001 | 关键词 | Flora; Frost; Global warming; Precipitation; Scale; biodiversity; biosphere; climate change; environment; env | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/0-306-48051-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-90-481-5686-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-0-306-48051-5Series ISSN 1574-0919 Series E-ISSN 2215-1621 | issn_series | 1574-0919 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2001 |
