Moving up and over: redistribution of plants in alpine, Arctic, and Antarctic ecosystems under global change
Extreme abiotic conditions, geographic isolation, and low levels of disturbance have historically provided alpine, Arctic, and Antarctic regions with low input of and relative resistance to the introduction of new species. However, the climate is warming rapidly, concomitant with intense and diversi...
