Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by Peking UniversityShows that the response modes of local forest to climate drying are variousIllustrate the effects of climate, topography and other factors on forest migration
Reveals the altitudinal migration pattern of these three dominated tree genera and the role of topographical factors on the migration of the forest-steppe border
