- Carbon sink limitation and frost tolerance control performance of the tree Kageneckia angustifolia D. Don (Rosaceae) at the treeline in central Chile (2006, background): “Additionally, tree stature and crown can produce a self-shading effect on roots, increasing the growth limitations by reducing temperature at the root level (Körner 1998; Grace et al. 2002; Körner and Paulsen 2004).”
- Potential Effects of Climate Change on Treeline Position in the Swedish Mountains (2004, methodology): “Several climatic indices, such as summer mean temperature and temperature sums, are related to treeline position, at least over large scales (Körner 1999, Grace et al. 2002), but it has proved difficult to assign causal factors linking climate and treeline position.”
- Plants in a warmer world (2003, background): “Assuming that growth and reproduction of trees at treeline stands are controlled by temperature, a rapid advance of the treeline would be predicted with global warming (Grace et al. 2002).”
- Climate refugia of snow leopards in High Asia (2016, background): “Temperature is intimately involved in the control of vegetation growth and reproduction, andwarming usually leads to advance of the tree line (Grace et al., 2002).”
- The Melting Himalayas: Cascading Effects of Climate Change on Water, Biodiversity, and Livelihoods (2009, background): “Existing species appear, however, to shift their geographical distributions as though tracking the changing climate, rather than remaining stationary and evolving new forms (Grace et al. 2002; Holtmeier & Broll 2005; Parmesan 2006).”
- Growth and carbon relations of tree line forming conifers at constant vs. variable low temperatures (2009, background): “A likely explanation for this globally consistent pattern is a direct low temperature induced limitation of growth (structural investment; sink activity) at otherwise sufficient carbon acquisition by photosynthesis (source activity; Körner 1998; Grace et al. 2002).”
