Drought-induced photosynthetic decline and recruitment losses are mediated by light microenvironment in Rocky Mountain subalpine forest tree seedlings
Rates of tree mortality continue to rise with climate change, particularly in high elevation
subalpine forests. In these systems, which depend on a narrow range of microsite conditions …
