The inability of tropical cloud forest species to invade grasslands above treeline during climate change: potential explanations and consequences
The upper elevational range edges of most tropical cloud forest tree species and hence the
'treeline'are thought to be determined primarily by temperatures. For this reason, the treeline …

Perspective: the responses of tropical forest species to global climate change: acclimate, adapt, migrate, or go extinct?
In the face of ongoing and future climate change, species must acclimate, adapt or shift their
geographic distributions (ie," migrate") in order to avoid habitat loss and eventual extinction …
