Decreased soil moisture due to warming drives phylogenetic diversity and community transitions in the tundra
(
IOP Publishing
, 2021 , Other)
Global warming leads to drastic changes in the diversity and structure of Arctic plant communities. Studies of functional diversity within the Arctic tundra biome have improved our understanding of plant responses to ...
Visitors off the trail: Impacts on the dominant plant, bryophyte and lichen species in alpine heath vegetation in sub-arctic Sweden
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Alpine ecosystems are under increasing pressure due to tourism and recreational activities. When leaving designated trails as is frequently observed, visitors can cause unintentional damage to vegetation. This study ...
The tundra phenology database: More than two decades of tundra phenology responses to climate change
(
NRC Research Press
, 2021 , Article)
Observations of changes in phenology have provided some of the strongest signals of the effects of climate change on terrestrial ecosystems. The International Tundra Experiment (ITEX), initiated in the early 1990s, established ...
Impact of ambient temperature, precipitation and seven years of experimental warming and nutrient addition on fruit production in an alpine heath and meadow community
(
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 ...
Experimental warming differentially affects vegetative and reproductive phenology of tundra plants
(
Nature Research
, 2021 , Article)
Rapid climate warming is altering Arctic and alpine tundra ecosystem structure and function, including shifts in plant phenology. While the advancement of green up and flowering are well-documented, it remains unclear ...
Vegetation responses to 26 years of warming at Latnjajaure Field Station, northern Sweden
(
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 ...
Effects of ambient climate and three warming treatments on fruit production in an alpine, subarctic meadow community
(
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 ...
Decomposition rate and stabilization across six tundra vegetation types exposed to >20 years of warming
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
© 2020 The Authors Aims: Litter decomposition is an important driver of soil carbon and nutrient cycling in nutrient-limited Arctic ecosystems. However, climate change is expected to induce changes that directly or indirectly ...
