Peer Review #2 of "Local-scale topoclimate effects on treeline elevations: a country-wide investigation of New Zealand’s southern beech treelines (v0.1)"
Abstract:Although treeline elevations are limited globally by growing season temperature, at regional scales treelines frequently deviate below their climatic limit. The cause of these deviations relate to a host of climatic, disturbance, and geomorphic factors that operate at multiple scales. The ability to disentangle the relative effects of these factors is currently hampered by the lack of reliable topoclimatic data, which describe how regional climatic characteristics are modified by topographic effects in mountai… Show more
