This volume describes overall features of high-mountain ecosystems in Japan, which are characterized by clear seasonality and snow-thawing dynamics. Individual chapters cover a variety of unique topics, namely, vegetation dynamics along elevations, the physiological function of alpine plants, the structure of flowering phenology, plant?pollinator interactions, the geographical pattern of coniferous forests, terrestrial?aquatic linkage in carbon dynamics, and the community structure of bacteria in mountain lake systems. High-mountain ecosystems are characterized by unique flora and fauna, including many endemic and rare species. On the other hand, the systems are extremely vulnerable to environmental change. The biodiversity is maintained by the existence of spatiotemporally heterogeneous habitats along environmental gradients, such as elevation and snowmelt time. Understanding the structure and function of mountain ecosystems is crucial for the conservation of mountain biodiversity and the prediction of the climate change impacts. The diverse studies and integrated synthesis presented in this book provide readers with a holistic view of mountain ecosystems. It is a recommended read for anyone interested in mountain ecosystems and alpine plants, including undergraduate and graduate students studying ecology, field workers involved in conservational activity in mountains, policymakers planning ecosystem management of protected areas, and researchers of general ecology. In particular, this book will be of interest to ecologists of countries who are not familiar with Japanese mountain ecosystems, which are characterized by humid summers, cold winters, and the snowiest climate in the world. 410 0$aEcological Research Monographs,$x2191-0707 606 $aBiotic communities 606 $aPlant physiology 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aAquatic ecology 606 $aEcosystems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L1904X 606 $aPlant Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33020 606 $aClimate Change$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007 606 $aBiodiversity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19031 606 $aFreshwater & Marine Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19066 607 $aJapan$2fast 615 0$aBiotic communities. 615 0$aPlant physiology. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 0$aAquatic ecology. 615 14$aEcosystems. 615 24$aPlant Physiology. 615 24$aClimate Change. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 615 24$aFreshwater & Marine Ecology. 676 $a570 702 $aKudo$b Gaku$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254060003321 996 $aStructure and Function of Mountain Ecosystems in Japan$92539260 997 $aUNINA
