A quantitative study on the mass elevation effect of the Rocky Mountains and its significance for treeline distribution

The Rocky Mountains are the highest and most extensive in North America. Their mass-elevation effect (MEE) should be strong and responsible for the high elevations of treelines in the interior of the mountain range. However, the MEE has been little known. We calculated the temperature difference (ΔT...
