Features: This book provides a comprehensive overview of mountain ecology and its theoretical foundation. Additionally, it thoroughly elaborates on the ecological characteristics and patterns of major warm-temperate mountains in eastern China from different levels, including habitat conditions, physiological ecology, plant communities, vegetation-climate relationships, and landscapes. Finally, taking the alpine treeline of Mount Taibai and Mount Wutai as examples, it discusses the response of this ecological transition zone to climate change from the perspectives of dendroclimatology and paleoecology.
