Abstract
In this study, we explore the effects of climate change on plant biodiversity in the alpine regions of the European Alps. By employing remote sensing technology and field surveys, we assess changes in species composition, distribution, and phenology over the past three decades. Our findings indicate significant shifts in plant communities, with a noticeable migration of species to higher altitudes and changes in flowering times. These results underscore the need for targeted conservation strategies to preserve alpine biodiversity in the face of ongoing climate change.
