High elevation species such as Engelmann spruce have been experiencing significant losses across its distribution due to pests, drought, and increasing temperatures. This study explores how the growth responses of Engelmann spruce have changed over space and time.
Learning Objectives:
Explain why Engelmann spruce is important to study in this context.
Describe the ways in which spruce responds to high summer temperatures in the last 100 years.
