The response of treeline-forming species to global climate change is uncertain. While
numerous treeline species have recently experienced range advance along their upper …

A treeline can respond to climate change by shifting position, infilling, increasing recruitment,
and increasing radial growth. More studies from understudied areas and their associated …

The alpine treeline ecotone is an important component of mountain ecosystems of the
Nepal Himalaya; it plays a vital role in the livelihood of indigenous people, and provides …

Stand structure dynamics are considered as major happenings in any forest as a response
to environmental changes. However, this important topic is underrepresented in the treeline …

We performed a meta-analysis on over 100 studies applying remote sensing (RS) and
geographic information systems (GIS) to understand treeline dynamics. A literature search was …

Urban forest ecosystems, the structure, and functions therein are subjected to anthropogenic
disturbances. Native and sensitive species from those forests might be lost due to such …

The Nepal Himalaya is experiencing a higher temperature rise with erratic rainfall and more
drought events in recent decades. Alpine treelines are proven bio-indicator and bio-monitor …

Himalayan Silver Fir (Abies spectabilis) and Himalayan Birch (Betula utilis) are tree species
often found coexisting in sub-alpine forests of the Nepal Himalayas. To assess species-…

Abstract Changes in the global temperature and precipitation regime have been significantly
driving species responses, notably in sensitive areas such as the Himalayas. By conducting …

Globally, alpine treelines are characterized as temperature-limited environments with strong
controls on tree growth. However, at local scales spatially heterogeneous environments …
