Climate warming is expected to induce treelines to advance to higher elevations. Empirical
studies in diverse mountain ranges, however, give evidence of both advancing alpine …

Treelines are sensitive to changing climatic conditions, in particular to temperature
increases, and the majority of global alpine treelines has shown a response to recent …

Alpine treelines act as bio-indicators and bio-monitors of environmental change impacts in
high elevation forests. This dendro-ecological study carried out in treeline ecotones in the …

Population structure and tree recruitment dynamics in the natural treeline ecotone of high
mountains are strong indicators of vegetation responses to climate. Here, we examined …

Soil properties in alpine treeline ecotones are insufficiently explored. In particular, an
extensive monitoring of soil moisture conditions over a longer period of time is rare, and the …

Abies pindrow is a keystone tree species of temperate forests in the Himalayan range with
immense ecological significance. The current study was designed to investigate the spatial …

The response of treeline-forming species to global climate change is uncertain. While
numerous treeline species have recently experienced range advance along their upper …

Quercus semecarpifolia Sm. is a multipurpose, ecologically and economically important tree
species of the sub-alpine ecosystem in the Indian Himalayan Region, forming a major part of …

This paper is aimed to study the tree line dynamics of Himalayan silver fir (Abies spectabilis
D. Don) based on its tree-ring data and age stand distribution at Langtang National Park …

Studies on tree-growth responses to climatic variations in a subalpine ecoregion of the
central Himalaya are limited. The Himalayan silver fir (Abies spectabilis (D. Don) Spach), a …
