European Alpine Botany

European Alpine Botany studies plants that grow in the high mountain regions of Europe, where conditions are rocky, cold, and exposed. It explores how these plants adapt to extreme environments, their distributions across different Alpine zones, and their ecological roles. The field combines taxonomy, ecology, and conservation to understand the diversity and resilience of alpine flora, informing efforts to protect these sensitive ecosystems amid climate change and human impact. Essentially, it provides insights into the unique plant life adapted to Europe's high-altitude environments.
