4 looked at the responses of five DGVMs, coupled to a fast climate analog model, finding dramatic divergence in future behavior, particularly of tropical vegetation responses to drought and
boreal ecosystem responses to elevated temperature and changing soil moisture.
From what I know about
boreal ecosystem, trees at the coastal treeline, for example, when exposed to predominantly northern cold winds like these, show a very clearly articulated
response with all foliage developed at the southern part of the tree and only bare stems facing the wind.
