Direct and Indirect Effects of Environmental Limitations on White Spruce Xylem Anatomy at Treeline
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Treeline ecosystems are of great scientific interest to study the effects of limiting environmental conditions on tree growth. However, tree growth is multidimensional, with complex interactions between height and radial growth.

A century of tree line changes in sub-Arctic Sweden shows local and regional variability and only a minor influence of 20th century climate warming [PDF]
, 2011 Aim Models project that climate warming will cause the tree line to move to higher elevations in alpine areas and more northerly latitudes in Arctic environments.
