Monitoring montane-subalpine forest ecotone in the Pyrenees through sequential forest inventories and Landsat imagery
Abies alba Mill.–Pinus uncinata Ramond. ecotone dynamics are examined along both altitudinal and protection level gradients by combining field inventories and Landsat data. An upward expansion of A. alba to the subalpine belt is observed in the last decades as a result of stand maturation after logging cessation.
