Tian F.F., 2024, Research on the genetic diversity changes in alpine plant species under the background of global warming, International Journal of Molecular Evolution and Biodiversity, 14(1): 18-25 (doi: 10.5376/ijmeb.2024.14.0003)

This study aimed to review the genetic diversity changes in alpine plant species in the context of global warming. With rising global temperatures, global warming has had a profound impact on the genetic diversity of alpine plant species. This paper introduces the context of global warming and the impact on alpine ecosystems, focusing on the challenges of climate change, snowfall and glacier melting to the adaptability of alpine plants. In terms of the concept and importance of genetic diversity, how to measure and protect genetic diversity is crucial. This study explores the mechanisms of global warming on fitness of alpine plant species, including the effects of temperature on gene flow, genetic drift and natural selection, and the relationship between genetic diversity and fitness, emphasizing the importance of protecting and managing genetic diversity in alpine plants. This study aims to provide a comprehensive perspective into the genetic diversity changes in alpine plants in the context of global warming and to provide a scientific basis for future research and conservation.
