Aims Several mechanistic hypotheses have been developed to explain the existence of alpine treelines *** reproduction limita-tion hypothesis(RLH)postulates that reproductive processes such as seed production and dispersal are restricted in treeline envi-ronments,thereby limiting the establishment of new individuals in advance of extant *** its popularity,no study has tested this hypothesis in a comprehensive *** this experi-ment,we attempted to answer whether there are enough viable seeds being dispersed beyond treeline for sexually mediated tree-line advance,and what the implications of climate change might be on these *** We established 30 plots across two aspects(north ***)and three elevational habitats(forest,treeline and tundra)in a white spruce(Picea glauca)boreal forest-alpine tundra ecotone in south-west Yukon,*** each plot,tree characteristics,seed produc-tion and predispersal damage were ***,eight dispersal trays were positioned in each plot to measure seed rain,and germination trials with and without predation exclosures were constructed in a subset of plots to quantify dispersal and germina-tion *** Findings Results were highly variable both temporally and *** 2014,a mast year,69%of adult trees produced cones compared to 0.4%in the following *** density of trees in forest plots compared to treeline and tundra resulted in greater seed production at lower *** all plots,88%of seeds were damaged before dispersal or were not *** plots had significantly greater predispersal *** rain was greater in south-facing plots than north-facing *** than 2%of seeds produced on the landscape were dispersed into Tundra plots,located 50 m above *** was a net movement of seeds from the north-facing slope to the south at our study site,likely due to prevailing winds during the dispersal *** counts were more
