Maximum height of mountain forests abruptly decreases above an elevation breakpoint

Maximum height of mountain forests abruptly decreases above an elevation breakpoint

Canopy height is an excellent indicator of forest productivity, biodiversity and other ecosystem functions. Yet, we know little about how elevation drives canopy height in mountain areas. Here we take advantage of an ambitious airborne LiDAR flight plan to assess the relationship between elevation a...
