Abstract
Climate change poses significant threats to alpine ecosystems, leading to shifts in plant biodiversity. This study introduces an innovative Weighted Clusters in Locally Adaptive Clustering (WLAC) algorithm to analyze the effects of climate variations on alpine plant species distribution. By assigning differential weights to environmental variables, WLAC provides enhanced accuracy in detecting shifts in species clusters. Through comprehensive field studies and data analysis across various alpine regions, our findings reveal critical insights into species resilience and adaptation strategies. The proposed methodology offers a valuable tool for ecologists aiming to predict biodiversity changes in response to ongoing climate dynamics.
