Approach used to measure climate change impact on alpine plant species

Mountain systems contain plant communities that are strongly affected by the occurring environmental change especially, the plant community found in alpine zone of the mountain. Studies have used different ways to measure the present and potential future impact of climate change on the plant communities. This systematic review study looks at the method of approach used by the articles to assess the impact of climate change on the alpine plant species. Fifteen journal articles were assessed based on their study design, location of the study, duration of the study, method of sampling and statistical analysis.
