In recent decades, the tree line has been moving along the entire territory of the boreal forests due to climatic changes. In this work, the dynamics of the tree line and the area of closed stands in the Southern Siberian Mountains are analyzed. At all objects of the study, the advancement of the tree line is observed with an average advance rate of ~ 0.6 – 0.9 m per year. A significant relationship was found between the advancement of the tree line and the air temperature.
