Alpine environments and their temporal changes are rarely studied at high latitudes in the southern hemisphere. We analyzed alpine plants, soil temperatures, and growing-season length in mountains of two landscapes of South Patagonia (46◦ to 56◦ SL): three summits (814–1085 m a.s.l) surrounded by fo...
