Book Review

Alpine Treelines: Functional Ecology of the Global High Elevation Tree Limits. By Christian Körner. Basel: Springer, 2012. 220 pp. $89.95 (hardcover). ISBN: 978-3-034-80395-3.

The first sentence of the second paragraph in the review (Cairns, 2013) should be changed from “The crux of Körner's hypothesis is that when treelines are considered globally, they closely follow the 6.4 °C average annual temperature isotherm.” to “The crux of Körner's hypothesis is that when treelines are considered globally, they closely follow the 6.4 °C average growing season temperature isotherm.”
