Description
As part of the floristic monitoring of the 'Flora di Vetta' project of the MCR - Fondazione Museo Civico di Rovereto, in collaboration with the Natural Parks of Trentino, a 35 cm high specimen of Larix decidua was found at 3,130 m a.s.l. (Lobbia Alta, 3,196 m a.s.l., Adamello), which seems to be the altimetric record for the species in the Alps.The study showed that in 86 years the species present on this peak have tripled, from 17 to 51, with an acceleration in recent years.
This denotes an enrichment of the summit flora linked to global warming.
