A bioclimatic model was used to simulate distributions of the dominant tree species on the
Tibetan Plateau. The model is based on physiological constraints to alpine plant growth. The …

The impact of climate change on distribution of vegetation is an important aspect in studies
on the responses of ecosystems to the climate change. Particularly in the sensitive …

Understanding the current distribution of vegetation and its interaction with climate regularity
and surface irregularity is important for predicting its future change. In comparison with other …

The spatial distribution of potential vegetation types in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau presents a
significant vertical zonation. Explicating the vertical differences of potential vegetation …

The distribution and species diversity of plant communities along a 600 km transect through
the northeastern Tibetan Plateau (32° 42′–35° 07′ N, 101° 02′–97° 38′ E) with …

Previous studies have identified vegetation shifts on the Tibetan Plateau in response to
climate change. However, the speed and direction of these changes in alpine vegetation are …

We used a regionally modified global vegetation model (BIOME4-Tibet) to simulate biome
distribution on the Tibetan Plateau under current climate conditions derived from regional …

Forest gap models have been used widely in the study of forest dynamics, including
predicting long-term succession patterns and assessing the potential impacts of climate …

Questions: What is the relationship between alpine vegetation patterns and climate? And
how do alpine vegetation patterns respond to climate changes? Location: Tibetan Plateau …

Tree growth at boreal/alpine treelines is generally expected to be stimulated by climate
warming. However, tree growth has been shown to have changed insignificantly or reduced …
