Zusammenfassung:A study estimated the extent to which climate change and global warming have improved or impaired conditions for the growth of tree species in the Iremel mountain range of the southern Ural Mountains. Results of this study show that the dynamics of spruce tree growth by volume markedly differ depending on the time of tree establishment at the upper forest boundary.
