Mountain treelines: a roadmap for research orientation
For over 100 years, mountain treelines have been the subject of varied research endeavors
and remain a strong area of investigation. The purpose of this paper is to examine aspects of …

[PDF][PDF] Feathermoss seedbeds facilitate black spruce seedling recruitment in the forest–tundra ecotone (Labrador, Canada)
JA Wheeler, L Hermanutz, PM Marino - Oikos, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
As climate warms, conifers are expected to expand their ranges into alpine tundra where
ecological factors such as seedbed availability, and post‐dispersal seed and seedling …

Ecophysiological variation in two provenances of Pinus flexilis seedlings across an elevation gradient from forest to alpine
Climate change is predicted to cause upward shifts in forest tree distributions, which will
require seedling recruitment beyond current forest boundaries. However, predicting the …

The earliest stages of tree growth: development, physiology and impacts of microclimate
Although the germinant and young seedling life stage of trees has the highest mortality
rates, our understanding of their fundamental physiology is surprisingly limited in naturally …

Linking carbon balance to establishment patterns: comparison of whitebark pine and Engelmann spruce seedlings along an herb cover exposure gradient at treeline
There is increasing evidence that landscape vegetation patterns near species' range limits
are associated with positive biotic interactions, such as in the alpine-treeline ecotone. In the …
