Growth Response of White Spruce [Picea glauca (Moench) Voss] in Denali National Park under Warming Climate

In subarctic mountains such as Denali National Park and Preserve(DNP), vegetation shifts from alpine tundra to boreal forests caused by recent climate change are a potential threat to plant conservation and indirectly to animal habits and diversity, which could affect the experience of visitors who...
