Abstract: Tree-ring chronologies from bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva) are a unique proxy used to understand climate variability over the middle to late Holocene. The annual rings from trees growing toward the species’ lower elevational range are… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Altitudinally separated bristlecone pine populations in the White Mountains (California, USA) exhibit differential climate–growth responses as temperature and tree-water relations change with altitude. These populations provide a natural experiment to explore the ecophysiological adaptations… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0193481
Abstract: Like many other high elevation alpine tree species, Rocky Mountain bristlecone pine (Pinus aristata Engelm.) may be particularly vulnerable to climate change. To evaluate its potential vulnerability to shifts in climate, we defined the suitable… read more here.
