D. Crabtree and C. J. Ellis 2010: Species interaction and response to wind speed alter the impact of projected temperature change in a montane ecosystem. - Journal of Vegetation Science21(4): 744-760. [RLL List # 221 / Rec.# 32367] Keywords: CLIMATE CHANGE/ MONTANE FORESTS/ TERRICOLOUS LICHENS/ SCOTLAND/ HEATHLAND LICHENS/ CAIRNGORM MOUNTAINS/ WIND/ TEMPERATURE/ VEGETATION STRUCTURE
Abstract: [Study based on data from the Cairngorm Mountains, Scotland. "Warming trends shifted vegetation zones upwards, with a subsequent loss of suitable habitat for arctic/alpine lichens. Our models suggest that for the wind-driven heath examined, a 20% increase in mean wind speed may negate the effect of increased temperature on vegetation structure, resulting in no net change in lichen occurrence."]
