Biogeography of high‐mountain plants in the Carpathians: An emerging phylogeographical perspective
Abstract The Carpathians belong to the main elements of the European Alpine System and have an important biogeographical location between the Balkan ranges in the South, the Alps in the West and the Scandinavian range in the North. However, until recently this area was rarely included in detailed ph...
