    • Bryophyte cover and richness decline after 18 years of experimental warming in alpine Sweden. 

      Alatalo, Juha M; Jägerbrand, Annika K; Erfanian, Mohammad Bagher; Chen, Shengbin; Sun, Shou-Qin; ... more authors ( Oxford University Press , 2020 , Article)
      Climate change is expected to affect alpine and Arctic tundra communities. Most previous long-term studies have focused on impacts on vascular plants, this study examined impacts of long-term warming on bryophyte communities. ...
    • Can bryophyte groups increase functional resolution in tundra ecosystems? 

      Lett, Signe; Jónsdóttir, Ingibjörg S.; Becker-Scarpitta, Antoine; Christiansen, Casper T.; During, Heinjo; ... more authors ( Canadian Science Publishing , 2022 , Article Review)
      The relative contribution of bryophytes to plant diversity, primary productivity, and ecosystem functioning increases towards colder climates. Bryophytes respond to environmental changes at the species level, but because ...
    • Collembola at three alpine subarctic sites resistant to twenty years of experimental warming 

      Alatalo, Juha M.; Jägerbrand, Annika K.; Čuchta, Peter ( Nature Publishing Group , 2015 , Article)
      This study examined the effects of micro-scale, site and 19 and 21 years of experimental warming on Collembola in three contrasting alpine subarctic plant communities (poor heath, rich meadow, wet meadow). Unexpectedly, ...
    • Effects of ambient climate and three warming treatments on fruit production in an alpine, subarctic meadow community 

      Alatalo, Juha M.; Jägerbrand, Annika K.; Dai, Junhu; Mollazehi, Mohammad D.; Abdel-Salam, Abdel-Salam G.; ... more authors ( Wiley , 2021 , Article)
      Premise Climate change is having major impacts on alpine and arctic regions, and inter‐annual variations in temperature are likely to increase. How increased climate variability will impact plant reproduction is ...
    • Impact of ambient temperature, precipitation and seven years of experimental warming and nutrient 

      Alatalo, Juha; Dai, Junhu; Pandey, Rajiv; Erfanian, Mohammad Bagher; Ahmed, Talaat; ... more authors ( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)
      Global change is causing changes in temperature, precipitation, and nutrient availability. Alpine and polar regions are predicted to be among the most vulnerable for these changes. We applied a seven-year factorial experiment ...
    • Impact of ambient temperature, precipitation and seven years of experimental warming and nutrient addition on fruit production in an alpine heath and meadow community 

      Juha M., Alatalo; Dai, Junhu; Pandey, Rajiv; Erfanian, Mohammad Bagher; Ahmed, Talaat; ... more authors ( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)
      Alpine and polar regions are predicted to be among the most vulnerable to changes in temperature, precipitation, and nutrient availability. We carried out a seven-year factorial experiment with warming and nutrient addition ...
    • Impacts of different climate change regimes and extreme climatic events on an alpine meadow community 

      Alatalo, Juha M.; Jägerbrand, Annika K.; Molau, Ulf ( Nature Publishing Group , 2016 , Article)
      Climate variability is expected to increase in future but there exist very few experimental studies that apply different warming regimes on plant communities over several years. We studied an alpine meadow community under ...
    • Impacts of seven years of experimental warming and nutrient addition on neighbourhood species interactions and community structure in two contrasting alpine plant communities 

      Gaurav, Baruah; Molau, Ulf; Jägerbrand, Annika K.; Alatalo, Juha M. ( Elsevier , 2018 , Article)
      Global change is predicted to have major impacts on alpine and arctic ecosystems. Plant fitness and growth will be determined by how plants interact with each other at smaller scales. Local-scale neighbourhood interactions ...
    • Litter decomposition above the treeline in alpine regions: A mini review 

      Rawat, Monika; Jägerbrand, Annika K.; Bai, Yang; Alatalo, Juha M. ( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)
      Litter decomposition is a key driver of ecosystem processes and carbon cycling. Decomposition rate is influenced by numerous factors, such as temperature, humidity, litter properties, soil properties, and properties of ...
    • Responses of lichen communities to 18 years of natural and experimental warming 

      Alatalo, Juha M.; Jägerbrand, Annika K.; Chen, Shengbin; Molau, Ulf ( Oxford University Press , 2017 , Article)
      Background and Aims Climate change is expected to have major impacts on high alpine and arctic ecosystems in the future, but empirical data on the impact of long-term warming on lichen diversity and richness are sparse. ...
    • Vegetation responses to 26 years of warming at Latnjajaure Field Station, northern Sweden 

      Scharn, Ruud; Brachmann, Cole G.; Patchett, Aurora; Reese, Heather; Bjorkman, Anne; ... more authors ( NRC Research Press , 2021 , Article)
      Climate change is rapidly warming high latitude and high elevation regions influencing plant community composition. Changes in vegetation composition have motivated the coordination of ecological monitoring networks across ...
    • Visitors off the trail: Impacts on the dominant plant, bryophyte and lichen species in alpine heath vegetation in sub-arctic Sweden
