Do the elevational limits of deciduous tree species match their thermal latitudinal limits?

Aim: We compared the upper limits of 18 deciduous tree species with espect to elevation in Switzerland and latitude in Europe. We hypothesized that species would exhibit the same relative positions along elevation and latitude, which can be expected if species have reached their thermal cold limit a...
