The paper examines how riparian ecosystems in alpine lakes interact with terrestrial and aquatic environments, identifying key factors shaping plant communities and their vulnerability to climate change.

The paper develops a multiscale framework to understand how physical elements shape high-altitude lake ecosystems and tests it using data from 380 lakes in the Pyrenees.

The paper investigates how catchment characteristics and landscape gradients influence littoral ecosystems in alpine lakes, finding that longitude and topography are key drivers.
