Abstract

Highlights: [•] Climate change exerts great effects on the dynamics of the forests in semi-arid Altai Mountains. [•] There is a strong coupling between tree growth, forest recruitment and climate variations in semi-arid Altai Mountains. [•] Tree growth and forest recruitment show divergent responses to climate variations in these semi-arid mountain forests. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
