Impact of climatic patterns on phenophase and growth of multi-purpose trees of north-western mid-Himalayan ecosystem

Earth's mean air temperature is increasing at an accelerating rate, and forest tree species are sensitive to this changing climate. However, tree species react variably to changing climates across different geographical ranges. Thus, eleven multi-purpose tree species (MPTs), Albizia stipulata,...
