This book brings together comprehensive multi-disciplinary
knowledge on diverse aspects of the Himalayan treeline ecotone
which is considered one of the most sensitive ecosystems to climate
change. The contents of this book are based on the results of
extensive research and provide a holistic understanding of the
treeline ecotone in Himalaya. The book will serve as an important
reference manual and a textbook on treeline ecology. The book is
unique in the sense that it provides an engaging account of almost
all the aspects of the treeline ecotone, such as taxonomic,
functional and phylogenetic species diversity, temperature lapse
rates, tree phenology, water relations, and stress physiology, tree
ring width chronology, and climate relationships and the role of
treeline ecotone in human sustenance in the Indian Himalayan region
The treelines in the Himalaya, being the highest in the Northern
Hemisphere (up to 4900 m), are among the least investigated systems
and hence this book is timely and fills all-important knowledge
gaps vis-a-vis treeline shifts, physiognomic, structural, and
functional changes in mountain landscapes and ecosystems,
particularly under the changing climate This book, for the first
time, summarizes evidence-based knowledge about various aspects of
treeline ecotone in Himalaya that was largely generated through a
well-coordinated a team science approach. The book will be of
interest to ecologists, climatologists, dendrochronologists,
foresters, plant physiologists and resource managers and policy
planners for a better understanding of the organization and
dynamics of this fragile ecosystem in relation to climate change
and other anthropogenic stresses that are rampant in the Himalaya.
The book lays a solid foundation for further investigation of the
ecology and dynamics of the treeline ecotone in the Himalayas and
provides a rationale for pursuing a team science approach for
macroecological investigations.
