    Abstract: Global warming results in climate change that increases the intensity of rainfall, drought, dry spell, heat waves. This condition have profound impact on alpine plant ecology and induce migration or range shifts of spe¬cies in search for their optimal growth conditions. These shifts subsequently lead to change in local species composition, often re... Show More
