Seed dispersal will be essential for plants to track future climate space, but species are not equally capable of dispersing through the landscape, nor will the landscape be equally affected by climate change. The notional plight of alpine vegetation, with nowhere higher and cooler to migrate to, lies in the expectation that species have the ability to disperse to their current range-edge in the first place.
