Bryophyte cover and richness decline after 18 years of experimental warming in alpine Sweden.
(
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
Litter decomposition above the treeline in alpine regions: A mini review
(
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 ...
Benchmarking plant diversity of Palaearctic grasslands and other open habitats
(
Wiley
, 2021 , Article)
Aims
Understanding fine-grain diversity patterns across large spatial extents is fundamental for macroecological research and biodiversity conservation. Using the GrassPlot database, we provide benchmarks of fine-grain ...
Impact of ambient temperature, precipitation and seven years of experimental warming and nutrient
(
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 ...
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 ...
Can bryophyte groups increase functional resolution in tundra ecosystems?
(
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 ...
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 ...
