A common soil temperature threshold for the upper limit of alpine grasslands in European mountains

Sarah Burli et al.

Summary: This study proposes the concept of a "grassline" as a climatic definition similar to the treeline, based on growing season length and soil temperature. Research shows that the upper limit of closed grasslands, or the grassline, has a mean soil temperature close to that observed at the treeline and aligns with physiological thresholds to growth in vascular plants. Unlike trees, small-stature alpine plants benefit from soil warmed by solar radiation and are able to grow at higher elevations.
