As climate warming pushes many species toward cooler environments, high-elevation areas are expected to play an increasingly important role in biodiversity conservation. A new study by the Great ...

In a study published in Science Advances on December 19, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators from international ...

If you visit Mount Jacques-Cartier in Québec’s Gaspésie National Park, you can expect to climb through a forest of spruce and fir trees along a trail lined with bunchberry flowers. As you approach the ...

As the international effort to limit global warming to below 2°C and towards 1.5°C continues, mountains face elevation-dependent warming, shrinking glaciers, reduced snow cover and changing ...

Temperature, rainfall, and snowfall patterns are shifting at an accelerated rate in mountain regions Over one billion people worldwide depend on mountain snow and glaciers for water, including the ...

African mountain ranges, including Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Kenya, and the Ruwenzori Mountains, are facing accelerating climate impacts marked by melting glaciers, forest loss, and prolonged droughts.

Many bird species have moved toward colder areas in the mountains of Europe as the climate has warmed over the past two decades. Sunny southern slopes attract birds to live at higher elevations than ...

Scientists once thought that the intensity of the movement of the Earth’s tectonic plates determined how high a mountain could soar. But new research shows that it’s actually the efficiency with which ...

Bird species are shifting to higher elevations over time, likely in response to climate change. The red line represents the mean elevation of birds, which has moved uphill after 20 years. Many bird ...
