The upper range limits of tree species are extremely sensitive to climate change, and global climate warming has already had profound effects on the recruitment dynamics of alpine treelines worldwide. Previous studies have only considered the effects of daily mean temperature increases on alpine treeline recruitment, without considering of the asymmetric effects of daytime and nighttime warming.
