  - Mountain ecosystems are experiencing rapid warming resulting in ecological changes
    worldwide. Projecting the response of these ecosystems to climate change is thus
    crucial, but also uncertain due to complex interactions between topography, climate,
    and vegetation. Here, we performed numerical simulations in a real and a synthetic
    spatial domain covering a range of contrasting climatic conditions and vegetation
    characteristics representative of the European Alps. Simulations were run with
    the mechanistic ecohydrological model Tethys–Chloris to quantify the drivers of
    ecosystem functioning and to explore the vulnerability of Alpine ecosystems to
    climate change. We correlated the spatial distribution of ecohydrological responses
    with that of meteorological and topographic attributes and computed spatially
    explicit sensitivities of net primary productivity, transpiration, and snow cover
    to air temperature, radiation, and water availability. We also quantified how
    the variance in several ecohydrological processes, such as transpiration, quickly
    diminishes with increasing spatial aggregation, which highlights the importance
    of fine spatial resolution for resolving patterns in complex topographies. We
    conducted controlled numerical experiments in the synthetic domain to disentangle
    the effect of catchment orientation on ecohydrological variables, such as streamflow.
    Our results support previous studies reporting an altitude threshold below which
    Alpine ecosystems are water‐limited in the drier inner‐Alpine valleys and confirm
    that the wetter areas are temperature‐limited. High‐resolution simulations of
    mountainous areas can improve our understanding of ecosystem functioning across
    spatial scales. They can also locate the areas that are the most vulnerable to
    climate change and guide future measurement campaigns.@eng
