Himalayan Plants Seek Cooler Climes [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
[Excerpt] Race is on to record mountain biodiversity before it is lost. In India's Western Himalayas, changes in altitude are so dramatic and steep that alluvial grasslands, subtropical forests, conifers and alpine meadows lie stacked almost on top of each other, producing a spectacular range of vegetation. Now, the myriad plants that inhabit these mountains are migrating upwards because of climate change – and some are in danger of being lost before anyone has even recorded their existence.
