Trees are moving upslope in the Altai Mountains as climate warms, but soils change slower than vegetation. This mismatch means mountain ecosystems respond unevenly to warming, complicating predictions of future biodiversity shifts.🌲

China's Qinghai spruce are growing faster as warming extends their growing season and eases drought stress. But not all win: western populations will decline, showing that climate change benefits vary even within one species.👇
