The broad geographic coverage helps synthesise common features whilst revealing differences in the world's major alpine systems from the Arctic to the Tropics. The words ""barren"" and ""wasteland"" have often been applied to describe landscapes beyondthe treeline. However, a closer look reveals a large diversity of habitats, assemblages and individual taxa, lar 410 0$aBiology of habitats. 606 $aMountain ecology 606 $aUpland ecology 615 0$aMountain ecology. 615 0$aUpland ecology. 676 $a577.538 700 $aNagy$b L$g(Laszlo),$f1961-$01637075 701 $aGrabherr$b Georg$01637076 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828937303321 996 $aThe biology of alpine habitats$93978683 997 $aUNINA
