Item Metadata only Thermal niche traits of high alpine plant species and communities across the tropical Andes and their vulnerability to global warming(2020-02) Muriel Mera, Erika Priscilla,; Muriel Mera, Erika PriscillaThe climate variability hypothesis (CVH) predicts that locations with reduced seasonal temperature variation select for species with narrower thermal ranges. Here we (a) test the CVH by assessing the effect of latitude and elevation on the thermal ranges of Andean vascular plant species and communities, and (b) assess tropical alpine plants vulnerability to warming based on their thermal traits.
