PPF-Alpine
Researching the Quaternary history (last 2.6 million years) of alpine biomes, based on the notion that their dynamic past may hold key insights for their future resilience.
About the research project
To decipher the biogeographical history of alpine diversity, PPF-Alpine has two underlying principles:
- We incorporate cross-disciplinary lines of research into one joint research project integrating expertise, tools, and data from palaeoecology, biogeography, macroecology, glaciology, glacial geomorphology, and landscape modelling. This integration is essential to address one of the most important questions in biogeography, namely ‘What causes global patterns of mountain biodiversity?‘
- We promote research that acknowledges and quantifies the legacy of long-term dynamics of the past in present-day biodiversity.
