treeline

Having watched the Great Escape again I considered constructing a tunnel as far as the treeline from the pulpit area of the custody facility where I am currently detained for the duration (admittedly at the right side of the cell doors) but then thought better of it as I didnt think that I would get far with a spork as my only digging implement.

The responses to warming were much greater in Swedish treeline heath and in fellfield [36].

The treeline was an unbroken line of oaks and maples, with no sign of human life.

The greatest rate of change (-76 ha/decade) was observed during the first 50 years, when isolated seedling establishment above the treeline was the most intensive.

Even snow gums drop out past the treeline, which is from 1,600 m to 1,800 m depending on local conditions.

The treeline is the line beyond which the trees cannot survive the combined stressors.

Some argue the treeline is a result of the isotherm, others suggest it may be the cause of the location of the isotherm because of albedo changes and ability to trap snow.

The position of the treeline is a valuable paleoclimatic indicator because temperature is an important factor in determining the altitudinal and latitudinal limits of tree growth…

Much information from satellite and aerial photographs exists already on vegetation change, such as treeline displacement, and on disturbances such as reindeer/caribou overgrazing and insect outbreaks.

The frequency of observations should be fitted to the rate of change of the species or processes of interest, for example, decadal measurements may suffice for some variables such as treeline movement.
