Emerging from decades of intensive research into alpine
timberlines, Trees at their Upper Limit presents a complete modern
synthesis of current knowledge on the ecophysiology of tree growth
and survival on high mountains in Europe. Including chapters on
soil properties and the role of mycorrhiza, carbon assimilation and
allocation, phytopathogens, and the impact of global change on
photooxidative stress, the book builds on Tranquillini's landmark
1979 publication, Physiological Ecology of the Alpine Timberline.
By combining new techniques and insights with existing core
knowledge, the authors explore a range of current hypotheses on
tree life limitation to promote a greater understanding of the
underlying mechanisms determining the upper timberline. A mid
growing realization that high elevation forests have a crucial role
to play in protection against natural hazards, this book represents
a timely contribution to the current literature on timberline
research. Drawing together more than 25 years of work, it sets a
new standard on the ecophysiology of trees growing at the alpine
timberline.
