The paper develops a framework to understand how biotic interactions modulate global change effects on plant communities and finds herbivores mitigate negative impacts while plant competition has mixed effects.

This study investigates how plant-soil feedback and resource competition jointly influence plant coexistence across elevation gradients in the Swiss Alps.

This study quantifies global microclimatic differences between mountain roadsides and adjacent vegetation, finding warmer daytime and colder nighttime soil temperatures, with implications for biodiversity.

The paper detects a community thermophilization signal of +0.13°C over 10 years in Swiss mountain roadsides, but highlights that cover-weighted models obscure this signal due to low cover values of gained/lost species.

This study observes rapid genetic adaptation and population dynamics in Arabidopsis thaliana across diverse climates over 5 years, showing predictable adaptation trends linked to survival and extinction risks.

The paper investigates how functional traits predict competition outcomes between current and novel plant species under climate change, finding that traits explain competition better at lower elevations.

The paper examines Darwin's Naturalization Conundrum by analyzing phylogenetic relatedness of non-native plant species along environmental gradients, finding that relatedness decreases with elevation and disturbance.

The paper examines adaptive genetic variation in Lactuca serriola along a precipitation gradient, identifying candidate genes under selection and predicting adaptive shifts in response to climate change.
