This study examines the effects of climate change on alpine flora within the European Alps, focusing on species diversity, distribution shifts, and phenological changes. Utilizing long-term data sets and ecological modeling, we assess the vulnerability of endemic species to temperature and precipitation fluctuations. Our findings indicate a significant altitudinal shift in species distribution, with many plants migrating to higher elevations. Additionally, earlier flowering times were observed, suggesting phenological adaptations to changing climatic conditions. This research highlights the need for conservation strategies that address the unique challenges faced by alpine ecosystems in a warming world.
