Microtopographic Heterogeneity Constrains Alpine Plant Diversity, Glacier National Park, Mt, George Malanson, Jonathan Rose
Microtopographic Heterogeneity Constrains Alpine Plant Diversity, Glacier National Park, Mt, George Malanson, Jonathan Rose
George P Malanson
Theoretical and empirical evidence exists for a postive relationship between environmental heterogeneity and species diversity. Contrary to our expectations, microtopographic heterogeneity does not promote the diversity of alpine plants.
Geomorphic Determinants Of Species Composition Of Alpine Tundra, Glacier National Park, U.S.A., George P. Malanson
Geomorphic Determinants Of Species Composition Of Alpine Tundra, Glacier National Park, U.S.A., George P. Malanson
George P Malanson
Because the distribution of alpine tundra is associated with spatially limited cold climates, global warming may threaten its local extent or existence. This notion has been challenged, however, based on observations of the diversity of alpine tundra in small areas primarily due to topographic variation. The importance of diversity in temperature or moisture conditions caused by topographic variation is an open question, and we extend this to geomorphology more generally. The extent to which geomorphic variation per se, based on relatively easily assessed indicators, can account for the variation in alpine tundra community composition is analyzed versus the inclusion of …
Mountain Treelines: A Roadmap For Research Orientation, George P. Malanson
Mountain Treelines: A Roadmap For Research Orientation, George P. Malanson
George P Malanson
For over 100 years, mountain treelines have been the subject of varied research endeavors and remain a strong area of investigation. The purpose of this paper is to examine aspects of the epistemology of mountain treeline research—that is, to investigate how knowledge on treelines has been acquired and the changes in knowledge acquisition over time, through a review of fundamental questions and approaches. The questions treeline researchers have raised and continue to raise have undoubtedly directed the current state of knowledge. A continuing, fundamental emphasis has centered on seeking the general cause of mountain treelines, thus seeking an answer to …

Endogenous Fractal Dynamics At Alpine Treeline Ecotones, George P. Malanson
Endogenous Fractal Dynamics At Alpine Treeline Ecotones, George P. Malanson
George P Malanson
Many of the hypotheses proposed to explain ecotones are based on an individualistic paradigm and are essentially static. While they include local feedbacks, they ignore the interactions between pattern and process across scales. These feedbacks in ecotones are nonlinear in nature and complicate the relations of pattern and process in vegetation, which, combined with observed fractal patterns, suggests a complexity science approach to investigate ecotone dynamics. A cellular automaton of alpine treeline, including nonlinear, local, positive, and negative feedbacks in tree establishment and mortality, as reported in field studies, is used as a model system. Fourier analysis of simulated alpine …
