Climate Change and Topography Drive the Expansion of Betula ermanii in the Alpine Treeline Ecotone of the Changbai Mountain

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
Over the past 20 years, the expansion rate of Betula ermanii in the alpine ecotone of Changbai Mountain varied with mountain aspects. We found that interactions between climate and topographic factors played a more significant role in B. ermanii's expansion than any single dominant factor.
