Climate-induced elevational range shifts and increase in plant species richness in a Himalayan biodiversity epicentre.

Global average temperature increase during the last century has induced species geographic range shifts and extinctions. Montane floras, in particular, are highly sensitive to climate change and mountains serve as suitable observation sites for tracing climate-induced biological response. The Himala...
