Short intro: I am vegetation scientist and macroecologist, interested in biological invasions, impacts of Global Change on Communities and Ecosystems. Lately, I started to monitor vegetation succession in glacier forefields of four Northern Limestone glaciers.

Of the 8000 plant species introduced to cities around the world, about 300 are in cities on every continent and about 90 are basically in every city. Urbanization has selected for a common set of species that are the fingerprint of our activity: The urban florome.

Study area shape matters when tracking species range shifts & we may underestimate longitudinal range shifts to the benefit of latitudinal range shifts, potentially undermining drivers other than T°C 🌡
