2. Synthesis of Climate Adaptation in Mountain Ecosystems in the North Central Region

Synthesis of Climate Adaptation in Mountain Ecosystems in the North Central Region

Alpine and treeline systems are very heterogeneous. A reduction of physical area at higher elevations, the sensitivity of alpine species to climate, and low connectivity make them particularly vulnerable to climate change. With climate change, we’re seeing elevation-dependent warming, loss of snowpack, and increased glacial and permafrost melt.
