• Growth and carbon relations of tree line forming conifers at constant vs. variable low temperatures (2009, background): “This may explain in part, why saplings and seedlings are often found above tree line, even outside shelter by mature trees (Hättenschwiler & Smith 1999; Cuevas 2000).”
• Seedling recruitment, survival and facilitation in alpine Pinus uncinata tree line ecotones. Implications and potential responses to climate warming (2009, background): “In contrast, other tree lines that are more affected by summer water stress have also shown mortality peaks in response to summer drought (Lloyd & Graumlich, 1997; Cuevas, 2000).”
• High solar radiation hinders tree regeneration above the alpine treeline in northern Ecuador (2007, unknown): “This all indicates that dispersal is an additional limiting factor for forest extension, as has been suggested for some temperate treelines (Cuevas 2000; Wardle and Coleman 1992).”
• Spatial and temporal variation in Nothofagus pumilio growth at tree line along its latitudinal range (35°40′–55° S) in the Chilean Andes (2005, background): “Recently, studies on the dynamics of N. pumilio tree lines have also been conducted in Tierra del Fuego in Chile (54� 30¢ S, Cuevas, 1999, 2000, 2002 ).”
• Plants in a warmer world (2003, background): “see also Cuevas (2002) 2 North western Canada past 150 years 10–20 m Picea glauca Szeicz & MacDonald (1995)”
• The performance of Polylepis australis trees along their entire altitudinal range: implications of climate change for their conservation (2008, background): “Other authors have reported continuously decreasing seed productivity with altitude (Cuevas, 2000; Miller & Cummins, 2001; Cierjacks et al., 2008), or even a general reduction in within-species seed mass with latitude (Moles & Westoby, 2003).”
• Herbivory influences tree lines (2004, background): “Tranquillini 1979; Gamache & Payette 2004), and competition or climatic effects on earlier life-stages (Grace 1989; Cuevas 2000; Dullinger et al . 2004).”
• Environmental v. genetically driven variation in ecophysiological traits of Nothofagus pumilio from contrasting elevations (2007, background): “These different environmental conditions eventually lead to one of the sharpest shifts in plant dominance at treeline, from forests to shrubland and herbaceous vegetation, often over short distances (Köerner 1999; Cuevas 2000).”
