DESCRIPTION:Alpine plants fascinate us with their diversity and their inter
 esting adaptations to\, from a human perspective\, extreme environmental c
 onditions. It can be anticipated that those specialized species will respo
 nd sensitively to changes in the environment and climate.\nIn this present
 ation\, I will report from several studies that have investigated how chan
 ges in snow cover\, elevated atmospheric CO² levels\, warmer temperatures 
 and\, last but not least\, land-use can affect alpine plants and their div
 ersity. For instance\, I will demonstrate\,\n\nhow the plant diversity of 
 mountain summits has increased in recent decades and centuries probably du
 e to higher temperature and reduced snow cover\,\nthat elevated atmospheri
 c CO²\; levels have the potential to enhance plant growth at tree line but
  that at the same time they can also increase the plants susceptibility to
  freezing events\,\nthat it is important to maintain high alpine plant div
 ersity to provide key ecosystem services such as soil stability.
