Allen CD and Breshears DD. 1998. Drought-induced shift of a forest-woodland ecotone: Rapid landscape response to climate variation. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS). 95(25):14839-14842
Describes the most rapid landscape-scale shift of a woody ecotone ever documented; in northern New Mexico. The shift from semiarid ponderosa pine forest and pinon-juniper woodland has persisted for 40 years.
