Abstract:The impacts of global warming are pervasive across different forest biomes and are most pronounced in high mountain ecosystems such as the Himalayas. This study examines the growth response of Blue pine (Pinus wallichiana) to climate from Bumthang district in the central Bhutan Himalaya. Tree radial growth parameters (ring width index and basal area increment) were correlated with monthly and daily climate. Temporal changes in significant climate response were assessed using running correlations. Irrespective… Show more
