Successional Herbaceous Species Affect Soil Processes in a High-Elevation Alpine Proglacial Chronosequence

The study investigated plant-soil interactions along a proglacial chronosequence in the Italian Alps, with a specific focus on pioneer and grassland species structure and biogeochemical processes, with the aim to evaluate the biotic patterns in ecosystem development. We recorded vascular plant frequ...
