Afforestation experiments reflecting the treeline conditions in Southwest Greenland
Scrub of Betula pubescens, Alnus crispa, and particularly Sorbus groenlandica indicate potential conifer-treeline conditions in SW Greenland. Experimental treeplanting elucidates the phytogeographical position of the region, especially when using plant material of well known origin. The history of e...
