The impact of anthropogenic global warming has induced significant upward dispersal of
trees to higher elevations at alpine treelines. Assessing vertical deviation from current …

On a global scale, climate-driven high-altitude treelines occur at surprisingly similar growing-
season temperatures (means from 5.5 to 7.5° C), whereas season length varies between 2.5 …

Altitudinal treeline is typically considered as being sensitive to climate change, and treelines
worldwide have been responding to climate warming by increasing in elevation and stand …

Whilst it is clear that increasing temperatures from global environmental change will impact
the positions of alpine treelines, it is likely that a range of regional and local scaled factors …

The global treeline phenomenon follows a common high elevation or high latitude isotherm
(Körner, 2012). Because treeline position (not necessarily the growth rate of trees) is defined …

Aim To better understand how climate change drives altitudinal treeline dynamics at large
spatial scales. Location Northern Hemisphere. Time period 1901–2018. Major taxa studied …

Aim Alpine treeline ecotones are influenced by environmental drivers and are anticipated to
shift their locations in response to changing climate. Our goal was to determine the extent of …

Alpine treeline, as a prominent ecological boundary between forested mountain slopes and
alpine meadow/shrub, is highly complex in altitudinal distribution and sensitive to warming …

Mountain treelines are thought to be sensitive to climate change. However, how climate
impacts mountain treelines is not yet fully understood as treelines may also be affected by …

Altitudinal treelines are typically temperature limited such that increasing temperatures
linked to global climate change are causing upslope shifts of treelines worldwide. While …
