Dispersal distances and migration rates at the arctic treeline in Siberia – a genetic and simulation-based study

<p>A strong temperature increase in the Arctic is expected to lead to latitudinal treeline shift. This tundra–taiga turnover would cause a positive vegetation–climate feedback due to albedo decrease. However, reliable estimates of tree migration rates are currently lacking due to the complex p...
