Overview

Research highlights threats from climate change and invasive species in alpine ecosystems, indicating urgent conservation needs.

Key Points

  • The research aims to assess the risk status of alpine and subalpine ecosystems in Australia.
  • Applied the IUCN Red List criteria to 15 ecosystem types
  • Classified ecosystems as threatened, Near Threatened and Data Deficient
  • Identified primary threats including climate change and fire regimes
  • Seven ecosystem types were classified as threatened
  • Three ecosystem types were classified as Near Threatened
  • 83% of the alpine and subalpine region is affected by these classifications
