RangeX
Mechanisms underlying the success and impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning of range-expanding species under climate change

About the research project
RangeX seeks to better understand the processes and impacts of plants that are expanding their ranges following climate warming. Our aim is to disentangle the direct effects of climate and indirect effects of changes in competitive interactions. This knowledge can be used as a basis for developing policy regarding range-expanding plant species. We focus on mountain ecosystems as an ideal model system to address our research questions.
