Thermal segregation drives patterns of alder and willow expansion in a montane ecosystem subject to climate warming
Abstract
Tall‐shrub expansion into low‐statured communities, a hallmark of recent vegetative change across tundra ecosystems, involves three major genera: Alnus, Betula and Salix. Which genus expands most into tundra landscapes will determine ecosystem properties.
