Figure Lengend Snippet: The interactive dominant factors for increased density of B. ermanii among various mountain aspects: (a) Northern, (b) Western, and (c) Southern aspects. Colors represent the magnitude of the interaction factor contributions, with red indicating a higher contribution and blue indicating a lower contribution. Results were analyzed using the interaction detector of the Geodetector method. The increased tree density represents the proportion (%) of increased B. ermanii area within each grid cell relative to the total grid cell area.
Article Snippet: In this study, to better monitor the treeline dynamic trends, we analyze the spatiotemporal patterns of the alpine treeline species Betula ermanii in the Changbai Mountain in the past 20 years.
