Shifts in soil and plant functional diversity along an altitudinal gradient in the French Alps

Shifts in soil and plant functional diversity along an altitudinal gradient in the French Alps

Abstract Objectives Altitude integrates changes in environmental conditions that determine shifts in vegetation, including temperature, precipitation, solar radiation and edaphogenetic processes. In turn, vegetation alters soil biophysical properties through litter input, root growth, microbial and...
