Nitrogen and carbon source-sink relationships in trees at the Himalayan treelines compared with lower elevations
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) a suffic...
