2011 American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting: Treeline Session
December 5-9, 2011
San Francisco, CA
Treeline positions are of fundamental importance to carbon cycling and surface energy budgets in high elevation and high latitude landscapes.
Considerable uncertainty remains about the causes of treeline position, the fate of treelines in a changing climate and the feedback implications of treeline shifts for regional and global climates.
The objectives of this session are to bring together researchers with a shared interest in treeline and to highlight recent research in arctic and alpine settings. Organizers invite contributions from researchers working on any aspect of treeline, with a particular emphasis on studies that examine the biotic and abiotic controls on treeline position and the implications of changes in treeline position.
