New land in the Neotropics: a review of biotic community, ecosystem, and landscape transformations in the face of climate and glacier change
The high tropical Andes are rapidly changing due to climate change, leading to strong biotic community, ecosystem, and landscape transformations. While a wealth of glacier, water resource, and ecosystem-related research exists, an integrated perspective on the drivers and processes of glacier, landscape, and biota dynamics is currently missing. Here, we...Cuesta, Francisco ; Llambí, Luis ; Huggel, Christian ; Drenkhan, Fabian ; Gosling, William …

Plant dispersal strategies of high tropical alpine communities across the Andes
Dispersal is a key ecological process that influences plant community assembly. Therefore, understanding whether dispersal strategies are associated with climate is of utmost importance, particularly in areas greatly exposed to climate change. We examined alpine plant communities located in the mountain summits of the tropical Andes across a 4000 km... -
