Changes in Distribution Ranges of Abies Species Dominating in the Forests of Northeast Asia Since the Last Glacial Maximum Aim Climate variations within the stadial–interstadial cycles drive shifts in the distribution of forest dominants. This study examines how climate dynamic alters the distribution ranges of two bore.....
