Abstract

This study investigates the effects of climate change on the diversity of alpine flora in the European Alps. Over the past two decades, data was collected from various altitudes and regions, analyzing shifts in plant species distribution and abundance. The research employs a combination of field surveys, remote sensing, and climate modeling to understand the impact of rising temperatures and changing precipitation patterns. Results indicate a significant shift in species composition, with some species migrating to higher altitudes while others face increased risk of extinction. This study underscores the importance of adaptive conservation strategies to preserve alpine biodiversity.
