The model of Holtmeier (2009) was modified to describe the functioning of the local timberline.Originating in a geological structure, the asymmetric shape of the ridge of the Babia Góra Mt. created consequences for most of the components of the environment of the timberline. This main stationary factor influenceall the others including the differences of local climate, soil development and human activity. The long history of direct impact of land use, grazing and logging and recent indirect influences (air pollution and climatewarming) control the present character of the timberline.}, type={Text}, title={The timberline as result of the interactions among forest, abiotic environment and human activity in the Babia Góra Mt., Western Carpathians}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/igipz/Content/54617/PDF/WA51_74750_r2015-t88-no2_G-Polonica-Kaczka3.pdf}, keywords={timberline, Carpathians, Babia Góra Mountain, spatial and temporal dynamics of timberline, grazing}, }
