Climate change simulations in Alpine summer pastures suggest a disruption of current vegetation zonation

Climate change simulations in Alpine summer pastures suggest a disruption of current vegetation zonation

Alpine summer grazing areas (high-altitude pastures) represent hotspots of biodiversity and high cultural heritage values. Low density forests (Alpine Larix decidua and/or Pinus cembra forests) and species-rich open land (Alpine and boreal heaths, siliceous Alpine and boreal grasslands) are protecte...
