Changes in vegetation distribution due to climate change are a concern in alpine tundra ecosystems. Past vegetation change was assessed and a cellular automata-Markov (CA-Markov) model was used to predict future land cover scenarios in the Torngat Mountains National Park Reserve (Labrador, Canada)....
