| dc.abstract.en | Mountain vegetation is highly specialized to harsh climatic conditions and therefore is sensitive to any change in environment. The rarest andmost vulnerable plants occurring in alpine regions are expected to respond rapidly to environmental changes. An example of such a species is Carex lachenalii subsp. lachenalii Schkuhr,which occurs in Poland on only a few isolated sites in the TatraMts. The aimof this studywas to assess changes in distribution of C. lachenalii in the Tatra Mts over the past 50–150 years and the effects of climate change, tourism and historical grazing on the ecological niche of C. lachenalii.We focused on changes in the importance of functional diversity components in shaping plant species composition. Over the past 50–150 years, the elevation of the average distribution of C. lachenalii shifted about 178mupward alongside a significant prolongation of the vegetative season by approximately 20 days in the last 50–60 years. Species composition of plots without C. lachenalii was characterized by competition between plants, whereas on plots with C. lachenalii habitat filtering was the most important component. Our results suggest that climate change was the main factor driving upward shift of C. lachenalii. Moderate trampling enhanced horizontal spread of this plant, whereas cessation of grazing grazing caused decline of C. lachenalii. The three environmental factors studied that determined shifts in distribution of C. lachenalii may also contribute to changes in distribution of other rare mountain plant species causing changes in ecosystem functioning. |
