Abstract The rate of CO₂ exchange and its optimum temperature were higher for lodge-pole pine (Pinus contorta) than for mountain beech (Nothofagus solandri).Transplanted seedlings of mountain beech did not establish on four sites above timberline. Transplanted lodgepole seedlings successfully established, and growth was related to temperature and shelter.
