Biodiversity science in China has seen rapid growth over recent decades, ranging from
baseline biodiversity studies to understanding the processes behind evolution across …

Upward shifts of mountain vegetation lag behind rates of climate warming, partly related to
interconnected changes belowground. Here, we unravel above-and belowground linkages …

High-elevation trees cannot always reach the thermal treeline, the potential upper range
limit set by growing-season temperature. But delineation of the realized upper range limit of …
