Study area This study was conducted on the Tibetan Plateau, the largest alpine permafrost region around the world, with an area of ~1.35 × 106 km2 and a mean elevation over 4000 m22,23. Climate on this plateau is cold and dry22. The MAAT ranges between −4.1 and 7.4 °C, and the MAP varies from dozens of mm in the northwest […] More
Study area and design We conducted this study within the geographical distribution centre of Swiss stone pine in the Central Alps. We chose two elevational gradients close to Davos, Switzerland, encompassing the whole elevational distribution of Swiss stone pine; one in the Sertig valley (46°44′0.76″N, 9°51′3.5″E) and one in the Flüela valley (46°48′0.25″N, 09°54′15.38″E). The […] More
