Thus, one could suppose that writing this book should not have been too difficult. It was harder, however, than expected, and in the end I felt that more questions had arisen than could be answered within its pages. Perhaps it would have been easier to write the book 30 years ago and then leave the subject to mature. Lastly it was the late Prof. Heinz Ellenberg who had convinced me to portray a much needed and complete picture of what we know of the timberline with special respect to its great physiognomic, structural and ecological variety. The first version of this book was p- lished in the German language (Holtmeier, 2000). Nevertheless, I was very delighted when Prof. Martin Beniston encouraged me to prepare an English edition for the series ‘Advances in Global Change Research’, which guaranteed a wider circulation. Timberline is a worldwide and very heterogeneous phenomenon, which can only be presented by way of examples. My own field experience is necessarily limited to certain timberline areas, such as the Alps, northern Scandinavia, northern Finland and many high mountain ranges in the western United States | 出版日期 | Book 2009Latest edition | 关键词 | Causes of Timberline; Ecology; Plant Science; Timberline Ecology; Timberline responses; climate change; ec | 版次 | 2 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4020-9705-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-90-481-8189-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4020-9705-8Series ISSN 1574-0919 Series E-ISSN 2215-1621 | issn_series | 1574-0919 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009 |
