Decreasing air temperature usually coincides with increasing elevation, which directly influences the length the growing season at different elevations of the mountain. [ 2 ] [ 7 ] For mountains located in deserts, extreme high temperatures also limit the ability of large deciduous or coniferous trees to grow near the base of mountains. [ 8 ]

The divergence problem is an anomaly from the field of dendroclimatology, the study of past climate through observations of old trees, primarily the properties of their annual growth rings. It is the disagreement between instrumental temperatures (measured by thermometers ) and the temperatures reconstructed from latewood densities or, in some ...
