Treelines are sensitive to changing climatic conditions, in particular to temperature
increases, and the majority of global alpine treelines has shown a response to recent …

Mountains are globally significant as 'water towers' of the Earth, as core areas of biodiversity
and as source regions for important natural resources and ecosystem services. The …

Globally, treeline ecotones vary from abrupt lines to extended zones of increasingly small,
stunted and/or dispersed trees. These spatial patterns contain information about the …

Only a few studies have addressed the soil and foliar carbon: nitrogen: phosphorus (C: N: P)
stoichiometry in alpine treeline ecotones. Moreover, information on the soil nutrient …

Mesoscale dynamical refinements of global climate models or atmospheric reanalysis have
shown their potential to resolve intricate atmospheric processes, their land surface …

Alpine treelines act as bio-indicators and bio-monitors of environmental change impacts in
high elevation forests. This dendro-ecological study carried out in treeline ecotones in the …

Developing sustainable adaptation pathways under climate change conditions in mountain
regions requires accurate predictions of treeline shifts and future distribution ranges of …

This review summarizes current understanding of drivers for change and of the impact of
accelerating global changes on mountains, encompassing effects of climate change and …

Soil properties in alpine treeline ecotones are insufficiently explored. In particular, an
extensive monitoring of soil moisture conditions over a longer period of time is rare, and the …

Himalayan treelines are exposed to above average climate change impact, resulting in
complex tree growth–climate relationships for Himalayan Silver Fir (Abies spectabilis (D …
