Juvenile Height Growth Rates and Sorting of Three Nothofagus Species on an Altitudinal Gradient

Abstract: It has been argued that if the cost of investment in cold resistance mechanisms detracts significantly from growth rates, then height growth tradeoffs should control species sorting on latitudinal temperature gradients. Applying the same logic to altitudinal temperature gradients, it can be predicted that species' upper altitudinal limits will be fixed by their degree of cold resistance, whereas the lower altitudinal limits of species growing higher up will be set by competition from faster-growing thermophilo… Show more

“…The decline in survival and height growth with increasing altitude is at least in part due to extreme events such as late spring frosts and low temperatures (Cárdenas and Lusk, 2002;Körner, 2007;Körner and Paulsen, 2004). Towards the lower altitudes, loss of carbohydrates and water stress would be the reasons for lower seedling growth and survival (Bruelheide and Lieberum, 2001;Jump et al, 2009;Mäkinen et al, 2002).…”
