This research tested the hypothesis that experimental infrared warming will reduce
photosynthesis for the evergreen shrub Artemisia tridentata and the subalpine, herbaceous …

Low temperature represents a form of abiotic stress that varies predictably with latitude and
altitude and to which organisms have evolved multiple physiological responses. Plants …

Global temperature has been increased by 0.6° C over the past century and is predicted to
increase by 1.4‐5.8° C by the end of this century. It is unclear what impacts global warming …

Extreme temperature events are projected to increase in frequency in a future climate. As
successive extremes could occur more frequently, patches of vulnerable tundra vegetation …

The frequency and severity of night frosts increase during the summer in the alpine
environment as elevation increases. Intra-specific, temporal, and elevational variability in the …

Predicted increases in the length of the growing season as a result of climate change may
more frequently expose high‐elevation plants to severe frosts. Understanding the ability of …

The frequency of freezing events during the early growing season and the vulnerability to
freezing of plants in European high‐altitude environments could increase under future …

Over winter, alpine plants are protected from low-temperature extremes by a blanket of
snow. Climate change predictions indicate an overall reduction in snowpack and an earlier …

Leaf death due to freezing was examined for four, co‐occurring species of chaparral shrubs
from the Santa Monica Mountains of southern California, Rhus laurina (= Malosma laurina) …

Microclimate was measured and photosynthetic responses to a climate warming
manipulation were compared for the evergreen shrub Artemisia tridentata and the …
