Treeline dynamics with climate change at the central Nepal Himalaya

Treeline shifting in tandem with climate change has widely been reported from various parts of the world. In Nepal, several impacts of climate change on thephysical environment have been observed, but study on the biological impacts is lacking. This dendrochronological study was carried out at the treeline in the high mountain slope of Kalchuman Lake (3750–4003ma.s.l.) area of Manaslu Conservation Area in the central Nepal Himalaya to explore the impact of climate change on the treeline dynamic.
