tree line

The poleward limit of tree growth; the botanical boundary between tundra and boreal forest.

The arctic tree line has been studied extensively, but in the Southern Hemisphere, a "tree line" can be inferred only by comparison of vegetation on islands in the southern oceans.
See also timber line.
