Abstract

AbstractExtreme climate events are increasing due to climate change. Heavy snowfall in a Himalayan evergreen oak forest damaged 21% trees and created large treefall gaps. Such occasional events may help define the upper altitudinal boundary of certain species. Oak trees with branches lopped by local communities showed lower damage.
