Spatial and temporal variability in the growth and climate response of treeline trees in Alaska

Lloyd and Fastie investigated the response of trees growing at the cold margins of the boreal forest to climate variation in the 20th century. Working at 8 sites at and near alpine and arctic treeline in three regions in Alaska, they compared tree growth to historical climate data to document how gr...

Zusammenfassung:Lloyd and Fastie investigated the response of trees growing at the cold margins of the boreal forest to climate variation in the 20th century. Working at 8 sites at and near alpine and arctic treeline in three regions in Alaska, they compared tree growth to historical climate data to document how growth has responded to climate variation in the 20th century.
