At the same time, law enforcement measures should be strengthened to prevent illegal collection and destruction. The survival of alpine plants depends on their specific habitat conditions. Therefore, habitat management strategies should focus on maintaining and restoring these habitats. This includes controlling the impact of human activities such as mountaineering, tourism, and animal husbandry to reduce soil erosion and habitat destruction. At the same time, it is necessary to regularly monitor changes in habitats and the health status of alpine plant populations. 5.2 The importance of gene resource banks and germplasm resources It is crucial to establish a gene resource pool in order to preserve the genetic diversity of alpine plants. These resource libraries will contain seeds, tissue samples, and genetic data of alpine plants to ensure the preservation of species’ genetic diversity. In the face of population loss and threats, genetic resource banks can be used to restore and reintroduce species. Germplasm resources refer to the diversity of germplasm among different genetic groups, which is crucial for the protection of alpine plants. These different genetic groups may have different adaptive characteristics that can help species adapt to different environmental conditions. Protecting the germplasm resources of different genetic groups helps to maintain the genetic diversity of alpine plants and improve their survival ability. 5.3 The necessity of interdisciplinary cooperation In order to better protect the genetic diversity of alpine plants, close cooperation between experts from different fields is needed. Ecologists can provide advice on habitat management, geneticists can study changes in genetic diversity, and conservation biologists can implement conservation plans. Cross disciplinary cooperation will provide stronger support for comprehensive protection of alpine plants. Due to the fact that the distribution of alpine plants typically spans multiple countries, international cooperation is also crucial. International organizations, scientists, and governments should work together to share information and resources, and jointly develop and implement conservation plans. Only by taking coordinated measures at the international level can the genetic diversity of alpine plants be more effectively protected. 6 Conclusion and Outlook Global warming has had a profound impact on alpine plants, mainly manifested in rising temperatures, reduced snowfall, and glacier melting. These climate change factors pose challenges to the living environment of alpine plants, threatening their adaptability and genetic diversity. Elevated temperatures may lead to species migration up the mountain, leading to changes in competition and complementarity between different species. The protection of genetic diversity is crucial for the adaptability and survival of alpine plants. Genetic diversity is the foundation for the survival and adaptability of alpine plants. Species with high genetic diversity are usually better able to cope with climate change and new environmental conditions. Protecting the genetic diversity of alpine plants not only helps maintain ecosystem stability, but also contributes to human food supply and drug development. By establishing protected areas, managing habitats, establishing gene resource banks, and promoting interdisciplinary cooperation, we can better protect the genetic diversity of alpine plants. Public participation and education are also key factors in protection, and it is necessary to enhance people’s awareness of protection and sense of responsibility. Future research should continue to focus on the changes in genetic diversity and adaptive mechanisms of alpine plants. Further carry out genetic diversity monitoring to understand the genetic structure and dynamic changes of alpine plant populations, as well as their relationship with environmental changes. Conduct in-depth research on the adaptive mechanisms of alpine plants, including their adaptive characteristics to temperature, precipitation, and habitat changes, to help predict the future adaptability of species. Explore more effective conservation strategies, including ecological habitat restoration, establishment of protected area networks, and international cooperation, to address the threat of global warming to alpine plants.
