The mountain treeline is an ecological boundary between the closed upper forest and permanent grasslands broadly studied for over a century by geographers, biogeographers, climatologists, glaciologists and ecologists. Spatio-temporal dynamics of its position is an important indicator of climate and land use changes. In Italy an ongoing research on the Appennine treeline reveals the prevailing but stable presence of beech forests and localized altitudinal expansion of pioneering pines.

Abstract
The mountain treeline is an ecological boundary between the closed upper forest and permanent grasslands broadly studied for over a century by geographers, biogeographers, climatologists, glaciologists and ecologists. Spatio-temporal dynamics of its position is an important indicator of climate and land use changes. In Italy an ongoing research on the Appennine treeline reveals the prevailing but stable presence of beech forests and localized altitudinal expansion of pioneering pines.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
