Growth response of Abies georgei to climate increases with elevation in the central Hengduan Mountains, southwestern China
Climatic harshness is expected to increase at higher elevations; however, elevational trends
of tree radial growth response of high-elevation forests to climate change need to be
investigated at different locations because of existing local variability in site-specific climatic
conditions. We developed tree-ring width chronologies of Yunnan fir (Abies georgei) along
elevation gradients at two sites in the central Hengduan Mountains (HM). High-elevation
forests of A. georgei showed growth synchronicity and common growth signals along …
