Elevation alters ecosystem properties across temperate treelines globally
Abstract
Evaluated treeline ecotones in seven temperate regions of the world find that declining temperatures with increasing elevation did not affect tree leaf nutrient concentrations, but did reduce ground-layer community-weighted plant nitrogen, leading to the strong stoichiometric convergence of ground- layer plant community nitrogen to phosphorus ratios across all regions.
