Abstract

This study investigates the effects of climate change on the biodiversity of alpine plant species in the Andes mountain range. Through extensive field research and data analysis, the paper identifies significant shifts in plant distribution and species richness, attributing these changes to rising temperatures and altered precipitation patterns. The research further explores adaptive strategies employed by various plant species and evaluates conservation efforts aimed at preserving these unique ecosystems. Findings highlight the urgent need for targeted conservation policies to mitigate the adverse impacts of climate change on alpine biodiversity.
