Rocking to global warming!

MOUNTAIN ECOSYSTEMS around the globe are threatened by climate change. A new study has found that the effects of climate change occur over a much longer time than the duration of traditional scientific experiments. Rising temperatures over the next decades would kdecoupley key nutrient cycles in mountain soils and plants to disrupt the functioning of mountaintop ecosystems, as plant communities above and at treeline will be thrown into a faster turmoil.
