Hierarchical patterns, from the level of the plant community to the global biome, are at their core a reflection of the evolutionary response of plants to their environment. These processes provide the framework for our chapter on ecology and evolution of plants in arctic and alpine environments....
Ecology and evolution of plants in arctic and alpine environments The main structuring element of a terrestrial biome lies in its vegetation. Hierarchical patterns, from the level of the plant community to the global biom... AL Breen,DF Murray,MK Raynolds,... 被引量: 0发表: 2014年 Ecology ...
Taiga, biome composed mainly of cone-bearing needle-leaved or scale-leaved evergreen trees, found in northern circumpolar regions typified by long winters and moderate to high annual precipitation. Taiga, ‘land of the little sticks’ in Russian, is name
hemicryptophytes with the percentage of phanerophytes decreasing from summer-green deciduous forest to grassland. (4) Arctic and alpine tundra are characterized by a flora which is often more than three-quarters chamaephytes and hemicryptophytes, the percentage of chamaephytes increasing with ...
Where is the tundra biome located on the world map? Antarctic tundra are found in the islands of Antarctica. Alpine tundra are found on top of mountain ranges at high elevations. Arctic tundra are found in northern regions such as Canada, Alaska, Russia, Greenland, Iceland, and Scandinavia....
The Alaska rein orchid (Piperia unalascensis), is only considered rare in Alaska, and is common in more southern climates. The plant has tiny green flowers spaced along the stem. The country of Morocco provides a variety of habitats for plant life, from the Alpine region of...
Saltbush is one of the most common plants in the desert shrubland. It holds large quantities of salt in its leaves. On the other hand, small mammals like mice, voles, chipmunks, kangaroos, rats, jackrabbits, etc., can be found in this biome. They have learned to adapt to the dry ...

Model outputs also suggest that a 50% decrease in rainfall could also produce a C4-dominated grassland ecosystem in the tropical Andes. Our combined isotopic and modeling results indicate the sensitivity of alpine tropical regions to climate change. In particular, these results suggest that lower ...
