CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Replication data for: Effect of elevation and latitude on spring phenology of Rhododendron at Kanchenjunga Conservation Area, East Nepal

In the mountains, it is elevation gradients that govern the change in temperature. Generally, temperature in mountainous regions decreases with increasing elevation at a lapse rate of about 0.6°C every 100m. With a lapse rate of 0.6°C / 100 m of elevation, a plant population spread over 500 m of elevation range will experience mean temperature differences of c. 3°C. In this paper effect of elevation on spring phenology of R. arboreum spread over 600 m in steep mountain slopes was discussed.
