Upward‐moving mountain treelines: An indicator of changing climate

Abstract

In this commentary, we highlight the recent advancements in the field of mountain treeline response to climate change in the work by He et al. (2023). We summarize their work from the perspectives of mountain treeline spatial distribution, their bioclimatic controls, and their diverse responses to changes in global climate patterns. We expect wide implications from the work of He et al. (2023), and point out future research direction that calls for interdisciplinary attention.
