Nonvascular photoautotrophs (NVP), including bryophytes, lichens, terrestrial algae, and
cyanobacteria, are increasingly recognized as being essential to ecosystem functioning in …

Elevational and polar treelines have been studied for more than two centuries. The aim of
the present article is to highlight in retrospect the scope of treeline research, scientific …

Natural regeneration in forest management, which relies on artificial planting, is considered
a desirable alternative to reforestation. However, there are large uncertainties regarding the …

This paper introduces a novel Lagrangian model (Concentration Trajectory Route of Air
pollution with an Integrated Lagrangian model, C-TRAIL version 1.0) output from a Eulerian …

Issue Despite their rather similar climatic conditions, eastern Eurasia and northern North
America are largely covered by different plant functional types (deciduous or evergreen …

The subarctic forest tundra transition zone is one of the most vulnerable ecological regions
worldwide and susceptible to climate change. Forest changes could lead to biodiversity …

A strong temperature increase in the Arctic is expected to lead to latitudinal treeline shift.
This tundra–taiga turnover would cause a positive vegetation–climate feedback due to …

Current configurations of forest structure at the cold edge of the boreal may help understand
the future of ecosystem functioning in high northern latitudes. The circumpolar biome …

With changing climate, the boreal forest could potentially migrate north and become
threatened by droughts in the south. However, whether larches, the dominant tree species in …

Dynamic global vegetation models are a common tool to assess the effect of climate and
land use change on vegetation. Though most applications of dynamic global vegetation …
