In Yukon, Canada, average air temperature has increased by 2° C over the past 50 years
and, by the end of the century up to 6.9° C of further warming is predicted, along with …

Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) are a group of beneficial microorganisms that

Mountain plant communities are thought to be sensitive to climate change and, thus, able to
reveal its effects sooner than others. The status as sentinels of two plant communities are …

As a key component of terrestrial ecosystems, soil interacts directly with aboveground
vegetation. Evaluating soil quality is therefore of great significance to comprehensively …

The distributions of many high-elevation tree species have shifted as a result of recent
climate change; however, there is substantial variability in the movement of alpine treelines …

Promoting natural regeneration in artificial forest ecosystems is crucial for sustainable
management. Understanding the fundamental mechanisms and drivers of tree regeneration …

Despite widespread observations of climate‐change induced treeline migration and
shrubification, there remains few direct measurements of transpiration and dynamics of …

Treeline advance has occurred throughout the twentieth century in mountainous regions
around the world; however, local variation and temporal lags in responses to climate …

Abstract Changes of grazing pressure and climate have been identified as drivers of woody
encroachment in subalpine pastures, but disentangling their relative importance remains …
