Introduction :
Climate change is affecting large mountain ranges two to three times faster than the rest of the planet. Even to the untrained and naked eye, the impact is now visible in the Mont-Blanc massif: the Mer de Glace and Argentière glaciers look tortured, rock fall so significant that it changes the how mountains look is becoming more and more frequent, snow cover is reduced in quantity and in duration…and alongside these changes, there are other upheavals that may be less visible, but are just as profound. Plant and animal species are subjected to rising temperatures, early snowmelt, and increasingly frequent heat waves and droughts. How do they react? How are the fauna and flora adapting to this disruption and how will the emblematic landscapes of the Mont-Blanc massif evolve?
