Application deadlineScope of workpart-time
Weekly hours65 % of standard work hours per weekTREELINE-II is an ambitious research project at Universität Hamburg, Universität Tübingen and Tribhuvan University Kathmandu, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
The project aims to understand effects of climate change on treeline environments in the Nepal Himalaya, focusing on spatial and temporal differences between krummholz and non-krummholz treelines in response to climate change.
Understanding these differences is key to the question to what extent Himalayan treeline shifts can be expected in the 21st century.
Results of TREELINE-I indicate that climate warming effects are altered at local scale by non-thermal factors. At the Rolwaling treeline study site (c. 4000 m), the dense Rhododendron campanulatum krummholz zone retards a treeline shift to higher elevations.Krummholz thickets are highly competitive and act as a barrier, slowing down population processes at the front-edge of the treeline-forming species Betula utilis and Abies spectabilis.
Other driving factors of treeline inertia presumably include limited availability of nitrogen and phosphorous, as well as soil moisture deficits in the pre-monsoon season, the latter adversely affecting tree growth in recent decades.
TREELINE-II will test the hypothesis that krummholz zones are the crucial structural component of central Himalayan treeline ecotones controlling any treeline shifts, and that climate warming leads to widely disparate spatial and temporal responses of krummholz and non-krummholz treelines.
