Treeline

"The Man Who Loved Jimi Hendrix" (the title sums it up), "Affliction" (an ordinary story about a man pining for his secretary), and "At the Treeline" (a confusing story about armed revolutionaries) are among the stories I would call more or less complete misses, but in a book of 22 stories, the quality of execution in Eighty-Sixed is admirably consistent.

On Thursday, on a twisting slope race officials had tamed but that remained icy slick, Ms. Vonn kept her line on to the upper portion of the hill where the dangerous Frog Bank and Treeline turns wreaked havoc on other skiers.

The Treeline does not always fluctuate in a straightforward way in response to the control of direct climate warming and cooling on the establishment and death of trees from seed, as illustrated in northeastern Canada.

Treeline dynamics for the last 4,000 years of the Holocene were reconstructed with even greater precision using more than 500 cross-dated tree stems with known coordinates of their burial places in valleys of different rivers on the southern-Yamal Peninsula (Fig. 14.28).

Treeline populations in northern Quebec are primarily single-species stands of black spruce, surviving in the upright growth form in protected sites, or in a damaged, low growth form where spruce are exposed to wind and snow abrasion above the snowpack.

Treeline questions have been studied from a number of different perspectives, but nearly all are at least implicitly connected with the question of how cold temperatures limit tree growth and survival.

Treeline generally moved at the most 5 km to the south of the present-day treeline, and subsequently northward only to the present boundary of open woodland in the river valleys.

Treeline displacements northward and southward were relatively small and less important during the last 3,600 years than those that occurred in the previous few millennia.

Also, on your mountain/treeline issue- Treeline changes and polar icecap melting are changes that require massive temperature change; 10 degrees or more, maybe even 30.

Sheridyn was intentionally presented in the early stories The intro and Treeline as a one-dimensional badass reminiscent of the Punisher.
