Reduced Snow Cover and Shifting Vegetation Are Disrupting Alpine Ecosystems, Study Finds

Reduced snow cover and vegetation shifts in the Alps, driven, to some degree, by climate change, are leading some mountain ecosystems to struggle to hold onto nutrients that feed vegetation, a new study shows. The study, published in the journal Global Change Biology last month, shows that alpine ecosystems may have trouble retaining vital elements … Continue reading Reduced Snow Cover and Shifting Vegetation Are Disrupting Alpine Ecosystems, Study Finds
