Hawaiian Treeline Ecotones: Implications for Plant Community Conservation under Climate Change
Species within tropical alpine treeline ecotones are predicted to be especially sensitive to climate variability because this zone represents tree species’ altitudinal limits. Hawaiian volcanoes have distinct treeline ecotones driven by trade wind inversions. The local climate is changing, but littl...
