Climate Change Affects Vegetation Differently on Siliceous and Calcareous Summits of the European Alps

Lena Nicklas et al.

Summary: The alpine life zone in the European Alps is experiencing significant changes in vegetation species richness and surface cover types on different bedrocks over time. Decreases in vascular plant cover and increases in litter were observed on siliceous bedrock, while marginal increases in vascular plant cover were seen on higher calcareous summits. Species richness showed a unimodal relationship with vascular plant cover, with richness increasing on siliceous bedrock but slightly decreasing on calcareous bedrock due to competition.
