Climate Change - Potential Impacts on Subalpine Forest Ecosystem

1993

Kraeuchi, N. (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich (Switzerland))

The ranges of the ecosystems move when the climatic pattern changes. Simulations have shown that a global warming would cause important changes of the species composition in subalpine forests. Deciduous trees would invade today's subalpine belt. Various conifers would be displaced and migrate into alpine zone. The model simulations are based on the IPCC climate scenarios.
