Response to climate change of montane herbaceous plants in the genus Rhodiola predicted by ecological niche modelling

Abstract Climate change profoundly influences species distributions. These effects are evident in poleward latitudinal range shifts for many taxa, and upward altitudinal range shifts for alpine species, that resulted from increased annual global temperatures since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, ca....
