Strong topographic sheltering effects lead to spatially complex treeline advance and increased forest density in a subtropical mountain region

Altitudinal treelines are typically temperature limited such that increasing temperatures linked to global climate change are causing upslope shifts of treelines worldwide. While such elevational increases are readily predicted based on shifting isotherms, at the regional level the realized response...
