#mountainecology — Public Fediverse posts

Some time ago, we #AlpSoil_Lab at #EuracResearch|s Institute for Alpine Environment published a paper for kids and all people in a simple language. Thanks to @soilbio_comm these articles were translated in many languages!

Forest canopy gaps can have varied effects on tree seedling distributions over elevation, and thus on potential species elevational range shifts over time. These effects seem to be greater at higher elevations where (a) canopy openness is greater, and (b) conifers (spruce, fir) exhibit positive responses to canopy openness.
