Climate niche models project that subalpine forest ranges will extend upslope with climate
warming. These projections assume that the climate suitable for adult trees will be adequate …

Recent climate warming has led to asynchronous species migrations, with major
consequences for ecosystems worldwide. In woody communities, localized microclimates …

The ability to estimate and model future vegetation dynamics is a central focus of
contemporary ecology and is essential for understanding future ecological trajectories. It is …

Alpine treelines are expected to move upslope with a warming climate. However, so far
treelines have responded inconsistently and future shifts remain difficult to predict since …

Mountain meadows have high biodiversity and help regulate stream water release following
the snowmelt pulse. However, many meadows are experiencing woody plant encroachment …

Plant species distributions, broadly shaped by climate, may also be constrained by other
species. The degree to which biotic factors affect range limits is unclear, however, and few …

Mixing different tree species in forest plantations might increase stand productivity and
resilience compared to monocultures, but mixing effects in the early stage of mixed forest …

Earlier snowmelt changes spring stress exposure and growing-season length, possibly
causing shifts in plant species dominance. If such shifts involve trees, this may lead to …

Los grandes herbívoros son agentes reguladores de diferentes componentes y procesos de
los ecosistemas boscosos, entre ellos sobre la regeneración natural y el sotobosque. La …

全球林线位置对气候变暖的响应表现为上升, 无变化或下降等截然不同趋势,
表明影响林线位置及动态的因子十分复杂, 除了较普遍认为的低温调控机制外 …
