Rates and mechanisms of subalpine forest succession along an environmental gradient

This paper examines how rates and mechanisms of succession vary spatially and temporally in xeric, subalpine forests in Colorado, United States. We reconstructed 300 years of succession from limber pine (Pinus flexilis) to Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmanii) and subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa) in t...
