  • Ecological thresholds, climate extremes, and tree species' distributions across the Pacific coastal United States

    Creator:
    Lintz, Heather E.
    Abstract:
    Species' distributions across the landscape are perhaps the least understood yet most conspicuous features of life on earth. Ecologists have long studied species' distributions; yet, many questions remain about why species occur where they do. Such questions persist largely because species' distributions are complex systems with challenging properties like non-linearity,...
