New GMBA paper: A climate-based model to predict potential treeline position around the globe

The paper describes the treeline model that was used for the GMBA mountain portal (www.mountainbiodiversity.org), which offers a robust estimation of potential treeline elevation based on climate data only. With this model, the alpine area of all mountains of the world can be determined.
