Continuous and discontinuous variation in ecosystem carbon stocks with elevation across a treeline ecotone
Treelines differentiate vastly contrasting ecosystems: open tundra from closed forest. Treeline advance has implications for the climate system due to the impact of the transition from tundra to forest ecosystem on carbon (C) storage and albedo. Treeline advance has been seen to increase above-groun...
