Abstract
Climate change significantly affects plant phenology, especially in sensitive alpine ecosystems. This study investigates the phenological shifts of key alpine plant species in response to changing climatic conditions over the past three decades. Using long-term observational data and climate models, we analyze trends in flowering and fruiting times across various altitudinal gradients. Our findings indicate an advancement in phenological events, with potential implications for plant-pollinator interactions and ecosystem dynamics. The study highlights the importance of continuous monitoring and adaptive conservation strategies in mitigating the effects of climate change on alpine flora.
