The changes of the boundary between subtropical and warm temperate zones and the spatiotemporal evolution of the actively accumulated temperature of ≥10 ℃ (AAT10) in the Qinling Mountains from 1960 to 2019 was analyzed by using the sliding mean temperature over five days, the Mann-Kendall test, and the Anusplin method based on the daily average temperature data from 74 meteorological stations in and around the Qinling Mountains (QMs). The results show that (1) at the temporal scale, the AAT10 had increased at a rate of 71.72 ℃·(10 a)
-1 in the QMs since 1960. The areas of 1 000
