Tree growth at the limits: the response of multiple conifers to opposing climatic constraints along an elevational gradient in the Alps

Tree growth at the limits: the response of multiple conifers to opposing climatic constraints along an elevational gradient in the Alps

IntroductionClimate change affects the vitality of mountain forests through increasing temperatures and decreasing water availability due to changing precipitation patterns, earlier snowmelt, and increasing evaporative demand. Depending on species characteristics, tree growth might therefore increas...
