The book covers the characteristics of alpine plant life, alpine climate and soils, life under snow, stress tolerance, treeline ecology, plant water, carbon, and nutrient relations, plant growth and productivity, developmental processes, and two largely novel chapters on alpine plant reproduction and global change biology. The book explains why the topography driven exposure of plants to dramatic micro-climatic gradients over very short distances causes alpine biodiversity to be particularly robust against climatic change. Geographically, this book draws on examples from all parts of the world, including the tropics. This book is complemented with novel evidence and insight that emerged over the last 17 years of alpine plant research. The number of figures ? mostly in color ? nearly doubled, with many photographs providing a vivid impression of alpine plant life worldwide. Christian Körner was born in 1949 in Austria, received his academic education at the University of Innsbruck, and was full professor of Botany at the University of Basel from 1989 to 2014. As emeritus Professor he is continuing alpine plant research in the Swiss Alps. 410 0$aBiomedical and Life Sciences Series 606 $aEcology 606 $aBotany 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aConservation biology 606 $aEcology 606 $aPlant Science 606 $aEarth System Sciences 606 $aConservation Biology 606 $aFlora alpina$2thub 606 $aEcologia de les muntanyes$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aBotany. 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 0$aConservation biology. 615 14$aEcology. 615 24$aPlant Science. 615 24$aEarth System Sciences. 615 24$aConservation Biology. 615 7$aFlora alpina 615 7$aEcologia de les muntanyes 676 $a581.7538 676 $a581.7538 700 $aKo?rner$b Christian$f1949-$01214151 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484537903321 996 $aAlpine plant life$92803939 997 $aUNINA
