The spatial patterns of tree populations reflect multiple ecological processes. However, little is known on whether these patterns mediate responses to climate in marginal tree populations such as those forming alpine tree lines. We examined the influence of tree‐to‐tree interactions on the responsiveness of tree lines to climate warming.

树木之间的相互作用减慢了喜马拉雅树线的移位，这是根据树的空间模式推断得出的

树木种群的空间格局反映了多种生态过程。但是，对于这些模式是否介导边缘树种群（例如形成高山树线的种群）对气候的响应知之甚少。我们研究了树木间相互作用对林木对气候变暖的响应能力的影响。
