A global framework for linking alpine‐treeline ecotone patterns to underlying processes
Ecography, Volume 44, Issue 2, Page 265-292, February 2021., 2021 Globally, treeline ecotones vary from abrupt lines to extended zones of increasingly small, stunted and/or dispersed trees. These spatial patterns contain information about the processes that control treeline dynamics. Describing these patterns consistently along ecologically meaningful dimensions is needed for generalizing hypotheses and knowledge ...
