A review of modern treeline migration, the factors controlling it and the implications for carbon storage
Numerous studies have reported that treelines are moving to higher elevations and higher
latitudes. Most treelines are temperature limited and warmer climate expands the area in …

Species interactions slow warming-induced upward shifts of treelines on the Tibetan Plateau
E Liang, Y Wang, S Piao, X Lu… - Proceedings of the …, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
The alpine treeline is commonly regarded as being sensitive to climatic warming because
regeneration and growth of trees at treeline generally are limited by low temperature. The …

Moisture‐mediated responsiveness of treeline shifts to global warming in the Himalayas
Among forest ecosystems, the alpine treeline ecotone can be considered to be a simplified
model to study global ecology and climate change. Alpine treelines are expected to shift …

The little ice age in Iberian mountains
Abstract The Little Ice Age (LIA) is known as one of the coldest stages of the Holocene. Most
records from the Northern Hemisphere show evidence of significantly colder conditions …
