Like all gardens, ours requires regular weeding and care is necessary that some alpine plants themselves do not become weeds by outgrowing the less vigorous species. In the summer months, regular nightly waterin
Alpine plants that survive in low-altitude rock gardens indeed grow taller than their relatives in the wild. But plants grown in such rock gardens are commonly of montane origin, because most typical alpine plants fade at such high, low-altitude temperatures, possibly because of overshooting ...
Wenhai in the west, and Baisha Ancient Town in the east. The altitude is as high as 2560 meters. The site is rich in resources. There are a total of 35 quaint Lijiang old buildings in 6 courtyards. There are white glacial stones, fruit gardens staggered, and mountains...
some of which may result in selection for certain colours at increasing altitude, in particular the changing pollinator species composition, which tends to move from bee-dominated at lower elevations to fly-dominated in high-alpine regions. To evaluate whether growing at altitude—and the associated ...
The compost that Ecotrivelo produces is used locally. This creates a closed-loop system – organic waste is collected, turned into compost, and then used in local gardens and farms. One of their standout projects in 2023 was the creation of a garden at Bois du Bouchet, where their compost...

The Alpi di Ledro are a splendid environment where rugged valleys alternate with thick woods and rocky outcrops, accessible in most seasons thanks to the mild climatic influence of nearby Lake Garda, and the moderately high altitude.The Pernici mountain hut allows for solitary walks of botanic ...
Evidently, over 170 alien plants are invading the Maloti- Drakensberg, with 23 species displaying the attributes of emerging invaders (Carbutt 2012; Canavan et al. 2021). The prevalent species in South African high-altitude areas are mostly woody plants such as the Acacia, Pinus, and Pros-...
Due to a reduced phenotypic plasticity, an overall low intra-population genetic diversity of the adaptive traits and weak gene flow, populations of high altitude might have difficulties to cope with, e.g. a rise of temperature. Journal of Ecology...
The local varieties formed over time are a resource of genotypes adapted to high altitude agricultural environments, they have important nutraceutical properties and they are closely associated with the local culture. The aim was to verify the persistence of traditional crops in the area, together ...
