In some cases, at higher latitudes, alpine plants may even have to (and do) survive one or two years of permanent snowpack, as can happen due to yearly variable snow distribution by wind (Moser et al. 1977). Snow cover strongly

Vegetation mosaics closely follow these below-ground patterns as was documented in a firs

Lift-zonoid and Multivariate Depths, beyond which massive single stems and tall crowns either can not be developed, become unaffordable or are disadvantageous (Fig. 7.1). Why do trees disappear above a certain elevation, what causes the alpine zone to be treeless, i.e. “alpine”? The answer to this question would also indicate which fu

Quality Requirements and Rubber Mixing,. by a plant depends on the specific activity of its leaves and the total amount (mass or area) of leaves present per total plant mass. Leaf photosynthesis depends on three processes: (1) the diffusion of CO. from the free atmosphere to the site of carboxylation in chloroplasts, (2) the biochemical
