Review

This submission, titled "THE INFLUENCE OF THE GEOMORPHOLOGICAL PROCESSES ON THE TREELINE POSITION IN THE UPPER VALTELLINA," addresses a highly relevant and interesting topic within physical geography and ecology. The interaction between geomorphological dynamics and ecological boundaries like the treeline is a complex and critically important area of research, particularly in alpine environments such as the Upper Valtellina, which are sensitive indicators of environmental change. A study that elucidates these specific controls could offer significant contributions to our understanding of ecosystem resilience, biodiversity distribution, and the impacts of climate change and land use in high-mountain regions. However, the provided abstract is entirely absent. This constitutes a fundamental omission that severely hinders any substantive review of the work. An abstract is the critical summary that outlines the study's objectives, methodological approach, key findings, and main conclusions. Without this information, it is impossible to gauge the scientific rigor, novelty, scope, or potential impact of the research. Crucially, I cannot assess whether the methods employed are appropriate for the stated objectives, whether the results offer compelling evidence, or if the conclusions are adequately supported and contribute new knowledge to the field. To enable a proper evaluation, the authors must submit a complete and informative abstract. This should clearly articulate the specific geomorphological processes investigated (e.g., mass wasting, fluvial erosion, periglacial activity), the scale of analysis, the data sources and analytical techniques used, and the principal outcomes regarding how these processes influence treeline position. Once a comprehensive abstract is provided, a more thorough and constructive review of the study's scientific merit and contribution can be undertaken.
