Drivers of treeline shift in different European mountains

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

A growing body of evidence suggests that processes of upward treeline expansionnand shifts in vegetation zones may occur in response to climate change. However, such shifts cannbe limited by a variety of non-climatic factors, such as nutrient availability, soil conditions, landscapenfragmentation and some species-specific traits. Many changes in species distributions havenbeen observed, although no evidence of complete community replacement has been registerednyet. Climatic signals are often confounded with the effects of human activity, for example, forestnencroachment at the treeline owing to the coupled effect of climate change and highland pasturenabandonment. Data on the treeline ecotone, barriers to the expected treeline or dominant treenspecies shifts due to climate and land use change, and their possible impacts on biodiversity in 11nmountain areas of interest, from Italy to Norway and from Spain to Bulgaria, are reported. Weninvestigated the role of environmental conditions on treeline ecotone features with a focus on treelinenshift. The results showed that treeline altitude and the altitudinal width of the treeline ecotone,nas well as the significance of climatic and soil parameters as barriers against tree speciesnshift, significantly decreased with increasing latitude. However, the largest part of the commonlynobserved variability in mountain vegetation near the treeline in Europe seems to be caused byngeomorphological, geological, pedological and microclimatic variability in combination with differentnland use history and present socio-economic relations.
