The tundra-taiga interface, or forest-tundra (lesotundra in Russian, and toundra forestière in French), corresponds to the subarctic zone where the closed boreal forest gradually becomes less dense and progressively breaks down into tree islands towards the treeless, Arctic tundra (1). The interface does not form a sharp limit of tree growth in the landscape but is instead a north-south transit...
متن کاملSpatio-temporal perspectives on aquatic carbon dynamics and limnoecological change in climate-sensitive lakes
Northern lakes are displaying widespread ecological reorganizations in response to global change. These sensitive freshwater ecosystems are an integral component of subarctic and arctic landscapes and play a critical role in regional and global biogeochemical cycles. A myriad of direct and indirect climate drivers shape their structure and functioning, often matched by equally diverse ecosystem...
متن کاملSpecies interactions slow warming-induced upward shifts of treelines on the Tibetan Plateau.
The alpine treeline is commonly regarded as being sensitive to climatic warming because regeneration and growth of trees at treeline generally are limited by low temperature. The alpine treelines of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) occur at the highest elevations (4,900 m above sea level) in the Northern Hemisphere. Ongoing climatic warming is expected to shift treelines upward. Studies of treeline dyn...
متن کاملVegetation Dynamics in Treeline Ecotone of Langtang National Park, Central Nepal
A study was carried out at the treeline ecotone (3,730m-3,950m asl) of Langtang National Park in central Nepal with an aim to document the impact of climatic warming on ecological chracteristics. Three sampling sites were selected at Chaurikharka and Lauribina, where no serious anthropogenic pressure was noticed. The nearest meteorological station has records of climatic warming in recent years...
متن کاملThe History of Tree and Shrub Taxa on Bol’shoy Lyakhovsky Island (New Siberian Archipelago) since the Last Interglacial Uncovered by Sedimentary Ancient DNA and Pollen Data
Ecosystem boundaries, such as the Arctic-Boreal treeline, are strongly coupled with climate and were spatially highly dynamic during past glacial-interglacial cycles. Only a few studies cover vegetation changes since the last interglacial, as most of the former landscapes are inundated and difficult to access. Using pollen analysis and sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) metabarcoding, we reveal ...
