How the timberline formed: altitudinal changes in stand structure and dynamics around the timberline in central Japan.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Altitudinal timberlines are thought to move upward by global warming, a crucial topic in ecology. Tall tree species (the conifer Abies mariesii and the deciduous broad-leaved Betula ermanii) dominate the sub-alpine zone between 1600 and 2500 m a.s.l., the timberline, on Mount Norikura in central Japan. Dwarf pine Pinus pumila dominates above the timberline to near the summit...
متن کاملTimberline Paleoecology in the Alps
Holocene Timberline Fluctuations and Climate Variability Alpine life and landscapes are exposed to extreme environmental conditions. Avalanches, landslides and floods, due to extreme climatic events such as heavy snow and rain storms, can impact both wild and managed landscapes. Above timberline, climatic conditions are so harsh that they impede the growth of trees. According to one recent hypo...
متن کاملClimatic and Environmental Reconstruction Based on Stable Isotopes of Parishan Lake (Iran)
The isotopic documents of lake deposition are suitable potential means for studyingthe intercontinental, environmental and climatic conditions. In order to study theenvironmental and climatic conditions of Parishan area in Fars province in Holocene, a Corewas taken with the length of 2m from the Parishan lake sediment. From this core, kernel timeseries was provided from documents of carbon and ...
متن کامل“Hearing from All Sides” How Legislative Testimony Influences State Level Policy-Makers in the United States

Methods We used a mixed method approach to analyze responses from 862 state-level legislators in the United States (U.S.). Data were collected via a phone su...
متن کاملEffect of latitude and mountain height on the timberline (Betula pubescens ssp. czerpanovii) elevation along the central Scandinavian mountain range
Previously published isoline maps of Fennoscandian timberlines show that their highest elevations lie in the high mountain areas in central south Norway and from there the limits decrease in all directions. These maps are assumed to show differences in “climatic forest limits”, but the isoline patterns indicate that factors other than climate may be decisive in most of the areas. Possibly the e...
