Climate change has markedly increased the susceptibility of glacier-related landslides to alpine environments, leading to cascading processes with catastrophic impacts. Nevertheless, their triggering processes remain inadequately understood, which hinder robust hazard assessments and effective risk mitigation. Glacier collapses and cascading processes have been frequently observed at Xiaoma Gully in Amney Machen Mountain. Base...

Aim The Northern Hemisphere harbours the greatest diversity of temperate plants on Earth, with East Asia having the highest species richness compared with North America and Europe. When and how this uneven diversification pattern emerged remains unclear. Here, we use a conifer genus that forms extensive forests in the Northern Hemisphere to explore a fundamental question in ecology and evolution: what processes underlie temper...
