Temperate mountain forest biodiversity under climate change: compensating negative effects by increasing structural complexity.

Species adapted to cold-climatic mountain environments are expected to face a high risk of range contractions, if not local extinctions under climate change. Yet, the populations of many endothermic species may not be primarily affected by physiological constraints, but indirectly by climate-induced...
