Nordenskjöld line

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-007589

An isotherm representing the average temperature of the warmest month, specifically the 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) isotherm. This line delineates the approximate boundary between areas where trees can grow and those where permafrost and tundra conditions prevail. It serves as a bioclimatic indicator, reflecting the thermal limits for woody vegetation in polar and high-altitude regions.
