| Summary: | The proposed research will quantify white spruce growth and document its latitudinal stability at the tree limit in the central Books Range over the life span of the living trees. he goal is to link tree growth and tree position to summer temperature and precipitation. istorical records from 1929 to 1938 from work by Robert Marshall have been used to identify tree limit sites and provide information to interpret the present location of the tree limit. |
