Abstract
This study investigates the effects of climate change on alpine plant communities, focusing on changes in species composition, distribution, and ecosystem dynamics. Using a combination of field surveys and modeling techniques, we assess how temperature increases and altered precipitation patterns are reshaping these sensitive environments. Our findings indicate significant shifts in plant species distribution, with some species migrating to higher altitudes and others experiencing population declines. These changes are affecting ecosystem functions, including nutrient cycling and soil stability. Our research highlights the need for conservation strategies that account for ongoing climatic changes in alpine regions.
