High elevation forest types are often constrained by the effects of warmer temperatures on community composition. As regional temperatures increases due to climate change, the sensitive tree species and forest types are anticipated to shift in elevation.
The impacts of climate indicators can be measured using different ecological metrics of quantification. The metrics used in a study can affect how it is designed and the questions that it can answer. The information below shows the types of metrics and number of associated protocols that are captured by the data represented in this project.
