A previous dendroecological study of fir growth from the northern declivity of Mt. Everest found a temperature signal at higher elevations and a moisture signal at lower elevations. However, no study has yet investigated the response of a tree species across its entire elevational distribution range in the southern declivity of the world’s highest elevation gradient, the Mt. Everest region.
