DOI: 10.1016/j.agrformet.2018.10.002
Abstract: Abstract Forest growth at high altitudes and latitudes is sensitive to climate warming. However, warming-induced drought stress has decreased forest growth and survival rates, and constitutes a key uncertainty in projections of forest ecosystem dynamics.… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.861231
Abstract: Alpine treeline is highly sensitive to climate change, but there remains a lack of research on the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of treeline and their relationships with climate change at the landscape scale. We extracted positions of… read more here.
