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 …

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

At a global scale, tree growth in alpine treeline ecotones is limited by low temperatures. At a
local scale, however, tree growth at its upper limit depends on multiple interactions of …

The Himalayan alpine treeline varies depending on altitude and aspects, supporting a
variety of plant species. In recent years, climate changes have exerted pressure on the …

Seedling establishment is a crucial factor for spatial dynamics of treelines. However, safe
sites for successful tree regeneration which is a basic prerequisite for a supposed treeline …

The vegetation of the alpine treeline ecotone is among the most vulnerable and sensitive to
global climate change. Treeline species respond to global warming through changes in their …

Using a landscape approach, the sensitivity, and response of a treeline ecotone to climate
warming were addressed in a multiyear study in Rolwaling Himal, Nepal. The Rolwaling …

Abstract Changes in population structure and plant functional traits across environmental
gradient in the near natural treeline is a critical determinant of environmental changes in …

Various environmental processes are strongly controlled by spatio-temporal variations of
surface air temperature (hereafter temperature) in complex terrain. However, the usually …

Stand structure dynamics are considered as major happenings in any forest as a response
to environmental changes. However, this important topic is underrepresented in the treeline …
