Holocene climate, fire and vegetation dynamics at the treeline in the Northwestern Swiss Alps

Schwörer, Kaltenrieder, Glur, Berlinger, Elbert, Frei, Gilli, Hafner, Anselmetti, Grosjean, Tinner
Treelines are expected to rise to higher elevations with climate warming; the rate and extent however are still largely unknown. Here we present the first multi-proxy palaeoecological study from the treeline in the Northwestern Swiss Alps that…

Effects of fire and fire suppression on mortality and mode of reproduction of California black oak (Quercus kelloggii Newb.)

Kauffman, Martin
Numerous studies, historical accounts and archaeological evidence suggest that the historical density and abundance of black oak (Quercus kelloggii Newb.) in mixed conifer forests was much greater than today. Reasons for the decline of this species…
