G-TREE Master's Thesis Opportunity!

February 24, 2014/ Andrew Trant

The Master's project is embedded in the Global Treeline Expansion Experiment G-TREE 
initiative, a globally distributed collaborative project aimed at testing the generality of 
mechanisms driving boundaries of tree distribution at the treeline.

Great people! Great location! GREAT project!

This is the home of the Global Treeline Range Expansion Experiment (G-TREE), a global research network.

what is a treeline?

We use the term treeline to describe the ecotone where forest transitions to non-forested ecosystems. In arctic and alpine systems, treelines occur where trees reach the limit of their climatic tolerance. Treeline ecotones are important reservoirs of biodiversity, provide wildlife habitat, and important ecosystem services such as carbon storage. For more information on treelines, take a look at this great overview on altitudinal (alpine) treelines by the Nature Education Knowledge Project.

Who are we?

Our research network includes university and government researchers, post-docs, graduate students, and undergraduates. We hope to engage community participation at some of our long-term monitoring sites in the future. Do you want to participate or learn more? Please contact us!
