Nitrogen and carbon source–sink relationships in trees at the Himalayan treelines compared with lower elevations
ABSTRACT No single hypothesis or theory has been widely accepted for explaining the functional mechanism of global alpine/arctic treeline formation. The present study tested whether the alpine treeline is determined by (1) the needle nitrogen content associated with photosynthesis (carbon gain); (2)...
