Search for: [Abstract = %22The structure of forest stands and tree architecture at the forest ecotone were analysed at the Alpine timberline zone of the Babia G%C3%B3ra massif of the Western Carpathians. Tree stand and tree characteristics displayedlarge differences in various locations. On the north slope of the massif%2C trees at the timberline grow relatively tall and slender%2C and have narrow crowns. Trees at the timberline on the south%5C-west facing slopes of the massif%2Cat higher elevations%2C are shorter%2C with lower slenderness indices and relatively broader crowns. These results suggest%2C that different environmental factors play major roles in shaping the structure of the timberline in variouselevations and various exposures.%22]
