On an island in the sky: biogeography and recreation in alpine plant communities of the northeastern United States

2026-07-24

Abstract excerpt

Climate change has likely shaped the size and distribution of alpine plant communities across North America since the ice sheet retreat around 13,000 yrs BP, but modern-day drivers of alpine plant distributions across this region have been understudied. Meanwhile, their role as popular recreational destinations makes them susceptible to trampling and other human-mediated disturbance. We applied an island biogeogra...
