Across Europe, more than twenty percent of the species that were in a plot in two thousand and one were gone from it by twenty twenty two.
In the Romanian Carpatians is a little bit better, around ten percent of the species were gone, one of the lowest in the network.
The really bad numbers are further south.
The Pyrenees, the
And the mountains of Crete are both close to 50%, and Sierra Nevada around 40%.
The ones being lost in those locations are the specialist species, those plants that live up there with no higher ground to move to.
So the overall species count goes up, but the mountain gets more ordinary.
The paper's whole point is that the rising number
number masks the loss of those specialist species.
So rising global temperatures are an important factor here.
The summits that warmed most lost most specialist plants.
In fact, for every extra tenth of a degree, local extinctions went up by up to one point six percentage points.
Warming also brings other changes like drier soil and a shorter snow season and
And the researchers are careful to say they can't separate those from the heat itself.
What's also interesting, Moni, is that these extinctions announced themselves in advance.
In almost 60% of the cases, the area covered by the plant was shrinking before it disappeared.
So if you're monitoring these plants, you don't have to wait until something is gone.
The shrinking is the alarm bell.
And
the species that are being lost?
