Deconstructing human-shaped treelines: Microsite topography and distance to seed source control Pinus nigra colonization of treeless areas in the Italian Apennines

2017-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Human-shaped treelines are a common feature in mountain landscapes across Europe, and particularly in secularly managed Mediterranean high-elevation areas. The abandonment of traditional land use, and especially the reduction in grazing pressure at high elevations, triggered secondary succession in treeless grassland areas, and favored the upward shift of anthropogenic treelines in some cases. We investigated this...
