This volume describes overall features of high-mountain ecosystems in Japan, which are characterized by clear seasonality and snow-thawing dynamics. Individual chapters cover a variety of unique topics, namely, vegetation dynamics along elevations, the physiological function of alpine plants, the structure of flowering phenology, plant–pollinator interactions, the geographical pattern of coniferous forests, terrestrial–aquatic linkage in carbon dynamics, and the community structure of bacteria in mountain lake systems. .High-mountain ecosystems are characterized by unique flora and fauna, including many endemic and rare species. On the other hand, the systems are extremely vulnerable to environmental change. The biodiversity is maintained by the existence of spatiotemporally heterogeneous habitats along environmental gradients, such as elevation and snowmelt time. Understanding the structure and function of mountain ecosystems is crucial for the conservation of mountain biodiversity and t | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | 关键词 | Alpine ecosystem; Climate change impact; Biodiversity; Plant–animal interaction; Vegetation dynamics; Alp | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-4-431-55954-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-4-431-56736-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-4-431-55954-2Series ISSN 2191-0707 Series E-ISSN 2191-0715 | issn_series | 2191-0707 | copyright | Springer Japan 2016 |
