Amazing work led Evelin Iseli, as part of her PhD thesis

The #Rangex focal species in #Norway are Leucanthemum vulgaris, Centaurea nigra, Hypericum maculatum, Plantago lanceolata, Trifolium pratense, Cynosurus cristatus, Luzula multiflora, Succisa pratensis, Pimpinella saxifraga, and Silene dioica. Hypericum and Silene are not sown, too few seeds.
This is part of the @biodiversa.eu #RangeX experiment, where we transplant native lowland forb species into the alpine, with and withouth warming and competition from neighbours, to better understand species range dynamics in a warming climate: rangex.w.uib.no
On this International #Mountain Day the #UiB #ScienceSavingTheWorld portrait series features Nadine Arzt and her research on range-expanding species in mountains! #BetweenTheFjords #RangeX #PFTC www.uib.no/en/nt/174779...
Exotic plants are better at hitchhiking upslope ๐ than natives โฌ๏ธ A very important result which supports former findings on exotic plants shifting and expanding their elevation ranges upslope at a rapid pace #RangeX #BioShifts ๐งช๐๐๐
