Gianalberto Losapio et al. addressed the effects of #GlacierRetreat on #PlantFunctionalDiversity by integrating #PlantTraits with ecological indicator values across a 140-year chronosequence in a subalpine glacier landscape.

Study area with Mont Miné and Ferpècle glaciers in the Valais Alps and the geolocation of the sixteen surveyed plots across four main stages of glacier retreat (Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3 and Stage 4), reconstructed using moraines marking the former glacier positions since the 1860s.

💡Ecological indicators predict functional diversity dynamics following #GlacierRetreat

Results:
Glacier retreat ➡️ Functional richness & functional dispersion ⬇️, functional evenness & functional divergence ⬆️
